Can Kuat Switch Ski/Snowboard Carrier Be Folded Forward
Updated 10/27/2025 | Published 03/01/2025
Question:
Hi, I am planning on purchasing this rack. I love Kuat products. I will have to mount these on the passenger side of my Subaru Forester. Will the fold down feature be an issue when it stows forward instead of towards the back of the car? Thanks.

Hey Rebecca, this is a great question but when the Kuat Switch 4 rack part # KU94FR is folded down it locks down into the lower position so you wouldn't have to worry about it flipping up when on the highway. So you can put it on the passenger side if you wanted.

Hey Rebecca, how did things go mounting the Kuat Switch 4 rack on the passenger side of your Forester? Did the fold-down feature work the way you expected? Your update could make it easier for others setting up the same rack.
