Is My Back Glass and Spoiler Strong Enough for the Yakima FullBack # Y02633 on 2021 Subaru Forester?
Question:
Is the back glass strong enough to hold the pressure? Also will the top spoiler can hold the strap pressure? thanks.

I went ahead and confirmed with Yakima that you can definitely use the Yakima FullBack 3 # Y02633 on your 2021 Subaru Forester, but you will have a decreased bike weight capacity. That capacity is 60 pounds for 2 bikes and 90 pounds for 3 bikes. With these weight capacities, the # Y02633 has been tested to work with your back glass and factory spoiler perfectly with added pressure.
It is important to note that if you have women's bike frames, kids' bikes, or step-thru frames, you need a bike frame adapter bar # 64005. With this bar, you receive the required straight, horizontal plane to mount the bike on top of the arms of the FullBack. I went ahead and attached a video that shows how it works.
