  • Will a Rhino Rack Roof Rack From a 2003 Subaru Forester Work on a 2009 Subaru Forester
  • They're not terribly different, but you aren't going to be able to use the same setup form your 03 Forester on your 09 Forester. So, to get your Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars # RRVA118B to work with your 2009 Forester, you'd need to use the Custom DK Fit Kit for 4 Rhino-Rack 2500 Series Roof Rack Legs # DK186 and the Rhino-Rack 2500 Series Legs for Vortex Aero Crossbars # RRRLKVA.

  • Is There a CIPA Custom Slip-On Towing Mirror Available For a 2013 Subaru Forester
  • I have a solution for you, but the CIPA # 10300 is a custom fit mirror that's designed to fit on some older Dodge trucks and there is not a custom fit mirror for a 2013 Subaru Forester. However, you can use a universal fit mirror like the CIPA Universal Towing Mirrors - Clip On - Qty 2 # 7070-2 on your 2013 Forester and they'll provide you with an extended view behind your vehicle and trailer when towing. I've linked a short review video about these for you to check out, as well.
