Roof Rack for 2009 Subaru Forester with Factory Roof Rails
Question:
Hi. I have a 2009 subaru forester w/the roof rails. I need to install a metal cargo basket to provide a proper/required RF ground for a two way radio antenna. Please recommend a system. Thank you

I would recommend the Thule Thule Crossroad Roof Rack, which consists of parts # TH710401 and # part # TH712200. This would allow a roof basket like the Yakima # Y07138 OffGrid to work with your current roof rails. The OffGrid would work great for you, as it's sized perfectly to work great with your Forester.
I'll link to a video showing the basket being test-fit on a Subaru Forester.
