Hey Tracy,
I can help you out here, and while we do have a cargo box for the factory roof rack on your 2012 Subaru Forester, the box you mentioned is only for very specific crossbar spreads so won't work. Instead, what I verified will work is a box from Yakima:
- Yakima RocketBox Pro 14 Rooftop Cargo Box # Y07192
The RocketBox Pro 14 # Y07192 does not require any type of extra hardware, and is really easy to use. It uses clamps that you tighten with hand knobs to secure to your crossbars so it is much simpler to take on and off than a box that requires U-bolts. It even comes with locks to keep your gear secure.
