Best Kayak Carrier And Roof Rack For a 2022 Subaru Forester with Raised Roof Rails
Question:
I am looking for a kayak carrier for the roof of my 2022 Subaru Forester. There are so many rack and carrier options I am not sure what will work with what. Can you provide me with a carrier that is easy to use and what bars I will need. I already have the raised side rails on my roof.

Expert Reply:
For your 2022 Subaru Forester I recommend the Thule WingBar Evo Crossbars # TH711320 with the Evo Raised Rail Feet # TH710401. The feet will clamp to the raised rails already on your roof. The Thule One-Key System Lock Cylinders # TH450800 will allow you to secure the crossbars and feet to your rails so that you can leave them on and not worry about them.
The Thule Hullavator Pro Kayak Carrier # TH898 will make loading and unloading your kayak easy since the carrier will fold to the side of your Forester. This makes it easier as it allows you to strap in the kayak where you can easily reach, rather than having to use a step ladder to reach the roof.
