It can be a little confusing because we have to clarify on some pages what fits the 2022 Subaru Forester Wilderness and just the standard Forester - I'll be happy to help you out though!

My recommendation is the Thule WingBar Evo roof rack because it looks great, is easy to install, and has arguably the best quality out of all roof rack options. Here are the parts you'll need:

50" WingBar Evo Crossbars - Black # TH711320 or Silver # TH711300
Evo Raised Rail Feet - # TH710401
Lock Core Kit - # TH450400 (optional)

If you're more interested in function over quality/features then you'll want the Malone AirFlow2 # MPG215 instead. This has the same basic features (aero-dynamic design, rubber strip in the T-Slot, and clamp mounting system), but it's a bit more clunky than the Thule setup so it can be a little annoying to install the roof rack and/or accessories at times.

Attached are installation videos of these roof racks on a Subaru Forester for you to check out!
