Hello Jeffrey,
Thanks for writing in.
Why buy two roof racks if you don't need to? I like your style. Yes, the Malone AirFlow2 Roof Rack Aero Crossbars for Raised Side Rails Aluminum 58" Long Black # MAL84AR is a confirmed fit for both your 2024 Subaru Forester and your 2024 Subaru Crosstrek with raised factory side rails.
One of the nice things about this roof rack is how easy it is to install and remove. The towers clamp securely around the raised side rails, so once you have it assembled, moving it from one Subaru to the other only takes a few minutes. Since both vehicles use raised side rails, you won't need a separate fit kit or any additional hardware. I attached an image so you can see what they look like on the raised rails.
The only thing I recommend is checking the crossbar spacing each time you move it if you're using a cargo box, kayak carrier, or bike rack that has a specific mounting range. Other than that, the # MAL84AR is an easy roof rack to swap between the two vehicles.
What do you plan on using the roof rack for? Mine comes in handy when I take people from work to learn how to fish with a rod carrier. Or my overpacking for camping, that's when you will find the Benton roof box # B44FR up there, one day I will get a handle on this overpacking =)

I purchased a set of these to tie down a canoe on a 2016 Toyota Sequoia. I don't know about Subaru but these work well for my needs. They are sturdy and low noise.
