Question:
For your 2017 Subaru Forester, the Thule WingBar Evo Crossbars # TH711220 / Evo Raised Rail Feet # TH710401 and the Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars # RRVA126S-2 / Rhino-Rack SX Series Legs # RRSX100 that you mentioned should allow you to use your sunroof based on the video I found under the product listings (see video). Between these two setups, I recommend the Rhino # RRVA126S-2 and Rhino # RRSX100 because this comes with a lock and key built-in, that way your belongings are always safe and secured. Something to take into consideration is that roof racks cause wind resistance and more noise. The sunroof being open along with a roof rack installed may be bothersome.
