Rhino-Rack Nautic Roof-Mount Kayak Carrier for 2017 Subaru Forester with Malone Roof Rack
Question:
Can you tell me if the Malone Roof Rack - 2017 Subaru Forester can be used to attach a Rhino Nautic kayak loader? Im trying to find the least expensive solution to my kayak lifting problem. I can still paddle, but a shoulder injury has made it impossible for me to load the kayak to my Subaru roof. Thanks! Happy for any suggestions!

Expert Reply:
The three Malone roof racks that fit your 2017 Subaru Forester are shown on the linked page. All fit on the roof style that has front-to-back side rails on the roof. These racks have either the popular square bar shape or the quieter aero-style bar as with the AirFlow2 rack # MPG215.
There are several versions of the Rhino-Rack Nautic kayak carrier, the rear-load model # RR571 and the side-load model # RR570.
Both versions of the Nautic are fully compatible with both bar types but you will probably want to use the rear-load carrier # RR571 which is illustrated in the linked video.
