Answer 9

The Malone #MPG216 AirFlow 2 roof rack is what I'd refer to as a budget-priced product. The quality is pretty decent, but they don't quite reach the Yakima/Thule pinnacle. If the roof rack will see daily or weekly use, it wouldn't be what…

Answer 11

I checked with Thule and since there isn't a way to attach the Thule Hullavator part #TH898 to the factory crossbars of your 2021 Subaru Forester you'd have to also install a Thule Wingbar roof rack part #TH711200 and #TH710401 to attach the…
