Expert Reply:
The Malone SeaWing Kayak Roof Rack w/ Load Assist # MPG113MD is only designed to be mounted to a roof racks crossbars on your 2017 Subaru Forester XT. Any air-foil like attachment you have is not likely capable of supporting roof mounted accessories like the kayak rack.

Hey, how did things go with the Malone SeaWing kayak rack on your Forester? Were you able to get it mounted securely to the crossbars instead of the rear airfoil? Your update could make it easier for others working with similar setups.
