Hi Andy!
We actually have the Malone 65" version as a whole kit with the AirFlow2 Roof Rack - Aero Crossbars - Raised Side Rails - Aluminum - 65" Long - Black # MAL24AR. Not sure why we don't have this listed for your 2024 Subaru Forester Wilderness, but it will clamp on to those raised rails without issues. It also looks like your Forester is 71.5" wide without the mirrors or 80.9" wide with the mirrors, so there will be no problems there either (you really shouldn't have the crossbars extend past the mirrors as it's actually illegal in some states).
What are you wanting to carry?

I’d like to carry two canoes. I need 64”. The canoes are pretty light- about 45 lbs each if that makes any difference. I talked with someone on line who does use the Malone 65” on his Subaru Forester wilderness. I also asked Malone support and they said this Thank you for reaching out to us regarding our Airflow2; I am sorry but we do not list the 65" Airflow2 as being compatible with the 2024 Subaru Forester Wilderness. Our Airflow2 is only compatible with the Raised Rail Model of the 2024 Subaru Forester Wilderness in the 50" & 58" lengths. It is the distance between the Raised Rails on the roof of that Forester Wilderness that makes the 65" System not compatible, and would have the Towers too close together on a 65" Crossbar. The section of the Crossbar that extends past the Towers/Raised Rails is also not a Load Bearing section of the Crossbar, and there should not be any equipment installed on that section of the Crossbar, so having a longer Crossbar on that Roof would not provide any benefit. So I really don’t know what to believe ??
