Low-Profile Roof Rack Recommendation for My 2022 Subaru Forester Wilderness

Question:

Thanks for getting back to me! These do go between the rails or do they go above? I'm trying to stay low profile.

I have a great solution for you. Unfortunately, I confirmed with Thule that the AeroBlades TH7502B-TH7503B have not yet been tested on a Wilderness model of a 2022 Subaru Forester. For that reason, it is impossible to determine with certainty if they work on your raised rails of your vehicle.

However, with that being said, Rhino-Rack offers a great roof rack that definitely fits your Wilderness model with raised rails. That is the Rhino-Rack Vortex StealthBar # JA7973

With this system, you receive a similar aerodynamic system like the Thule AeroBlades. The design of the StealthBar contribute an overall quieter ride as well as maximized fuel efficiency. You also receive 175 pounds of maximum weight capacity. As with all roof racks, I recommend confirming with your vehicle's owner's manual to make sure your roof can support the weight you wish to transport.

No problem! The StealthBar setup does install barely above the rails. I went ahead and attached a video of a Crosstrek that shows how low-profile they are. This model is the lowest-profile crossbar system we currently carry for your vehicle.
