Will the Rhino Rack J Style Kayak Carrier Fit on Factory Crossbars on 2015 Subaru Forester

Question:

I have a 2015 Subaru Forester with roof rack rails and the Forester Crossbar kit OEM Areo Cross Bars part no. E361SSGOOO. Will 2 Rhino J-Style Kayak Carrier-Folding Universal Mounts fit my Subaru areo cross bars to carry 2 kayaks with paddles.

Yes. The Rhino Rack J-Style Kayak Carrier- Folding Universal Mounts # S512 will fit on the factory crossbars on your 2015 Subaru Forester, but in order to turn it into a 2 kayak carrier you will need to add the extension arms # RRS512X. This carrier does have a capacity of 99-lbs, so if the combined weight of both kayaks is over 99-lbs you will need to use 2 of the # S512 on your crossbars to safely carry both kayaks.
