Today on our 2017 Subaru Forester we're going to be test fitting the Inno roof rack system consisting of part numbers IN-B117, and these are the Inno square cross bars, 46 inches long, and part number IN-FR, and these are the Inno feet for the square cross bars, particularly for factory raised side rails. We already have the front one installed, you can see we have a rubber coated steel strap that wraps around the factory side rail itself, and then we have this cover here which is lockable, so once you install these these are actually secured to your side rail. The bar itself is nice and heavy duty. Combined with the rear cross bar it has a carrying capacity of 220 pounds, although you always want to double check with your manufacturer's recommendations to make sure that the weight isn't too much for your actual roof. Let's go ahead and show you how the rear one installs. We already have it partially assembled on our table here. We have our foot as well as our covers, we've already taken our end-cap off, and pretty much what's going to happen here is this square portion here is just going to fit over our cross bar. Just slides on like so, I'll go ahead and put the end-cap on just so we don't forget it.
All right, with that done let's go ahead and put this on our vehicle. We'll make sure that our straps are in the open position before we set them down, and wrap them around our side rails. Once we get this situated we're actually going to measure out our cross bar spread, and that's going to be from center to center of the bar. Now for factory raised side rails there's no real set measurement, what I would do is actually go by whatever accessory you're putting on your roof, go by its recommendations for spread. Today we're just going to measure it out evenly on both sides to keep the bars parallel. And once we're done measuring out our cross bar spread, we're going to go ahead and measure out our cross bar overhang as well, to make sure that's even on both sides. And the cross bar overhang is how much of your cross bar is sticking out past your actual foot, and we'll kind of eyeball it at first, and then we'll do our measuring on each side just to keep it even.
Still got quite a bit on this side here we can pull over. That looks good right about there. So I'll measure it out now. All right, that looks good. Now we can start tightening it down. To do that we'll take our strap here, and you'll see we have two sections that the ends of the strap will fit into.
We're going to go to the top one here and then just use the included tool to tighten it down, which is kind of a nice feature of it because you don't need any additional tools to tighten this down. I'll repeat this on the other side, and while I'm tightening this down, some things you can actually put on this roof rack, quite a few things. There's going to be bike racks, ski carriers, snowboard carriers, roof cargo baskets and enclosed cargo boxes, as well as watersport carriers such as kayaks and canoes. Now when you're putting these things on your roof, and being sure that you're not exceeding the weight capacities of both your bars or your roof. With everything tightened down our final step is to go ahead and put our locking ends in place, and then we're ready to hit the road. This pushes in, and ensure it lines up, and then locking it in.
And there you have it for the Inno roof rack system for our 2017 Subaru Forester.

These steel, square crossbars attach to Inno feet to create a sturdy roof rack for your vehicle. Elastomer coating resists corrosion and helps cushion your load. Bars accommodate carriers and accessories that clamp around bars.These bars are excellent. I like the coating to protect whatever you're hauling. There is absolutely 0 flex with my kayak mounted, unlike the aluminum aero bars I upgraded from.
Easy to install, great instructions, looks good, will use for bikes and kayaks, a welcome edition to our gas saver car
Shipping took considerably longer than originally promised. Product quality & value I consider both to be good.
Worked great! Traveled with a carrier on these racks from Chicago to Seattle. No issues, would buy again!
these work great in the roof style of the 2007 forester. They DO NOT come with the parts needed to attach them from etrailer so read carefully to make sure they will work with your vehicle.
Missing Parts - I am missing two of the end-caps for the INB117. What is the deal with INNO quality control that it cannot get 4 of these in a box at the same time and tape it shut? I did a search on Google and apparently this a a known QC issue!
Fit perfectly on our 2007 Subaru Legacy Wagon w/flush mount rails. We had our doubts but put our faith in C.S. Rep. He was right (of course)!! The fit on the stock rails perfectly. My husband didn't really have trouble installing them at all. We also got the Inno Fit Kit Hooks and the Inno Square Crossbars. Just came back from vacation. They were perfect for my husband's bike. (We did have Thule rails from an earlier bike rack. They fit into the Inno system w/o a problem. Thank You ETrailer for ALL your help. We couldn't have put it all together without you knowledge. Perfect!
We bought this along with the INTR - Inno Feet for Square Crossbars. We used this to mount Thule crossbars and a Thule Adventurer cargo box on a 2001 Subaru Forester. Everything fit perfectly. The Inno mounts were completely compatible with the Thule crossbars. The fast and accurate shipping helped avert a crisis before a cross country trip.
We bought this along with the INTR102 Custom Fit Kit. We used this to mount Thule crossbars and a Thule Adventurer cargo box on a 2001 Subaru Forester. Everything fit perfectly. The Inno mounts were completely compatible with the Thule crossbars. The fast and accurate shipping helped avert a crisis before a cross country trip.
I got these to replace my OE roof racks. The square shape is perfect for Yakima Bowdown kayak racks. Solid!
One of the lesser expensive rack kits for the Mazda5. etrailer delivered excellent! They had items in stock and shipped quick. I finally had a chance to install it this evening. My only frustration was evening out the bars. Measure, adjust and measure and adjust. I'll look into getting a fairing to reduce wind noise.
The customer service representative was friendly, answered all of my questions, and arranged for same day shipment. It arrive missing some end caps, and when I notified her of this, she had a replacement set sent out. I would recommend etrailer for any of your bike roof rack purchases
Fit was good. Hauled a roof top carrier 2000 miles with no issues. Wind noise was minimal.
Product arrived on time and packed very professionally. Was very satisfied with the overall quality of the product. Everything went right together and fit perfectly. I dealt with a gentlemen named George J. He was very professional and extremely helpful throughout the whole process with updates letting me know how my order was going. Very happy with the product.
I got the whole kit...on Marc C's recommendation. He was so very patient and helpful! The kit is great. I am not so versed in doing such things so my neighbor put it on the car for me. He was just over and over again extolling the Praises of the instructions. He said they're the best ones he ever used. It fits on the car, it feels solid, and it looks great. I'm very very happy with it. Thank you so much!
Easy to install. Installed with the wife in about 30 minutes with the Inno foot pads. No wind noise.
Great Product! Shipping was very fast for free shipping, and product was packaged well. Installation was a breeze, and only took about 30 min. I am very pleased with my purchase!
Had used Thule bars for years on multiple cars. Sadly found out Thule didn’t make a mount for my new Lexus GX. And I was about to throw in the towel, but found that the ”Inno” footing would work with my car and with my old Thule bars! They work great on my new car. Thank you etrailer for having the only website search engine that could recommend the parts I needed.
Cheers!
I am more than pleased by the service that I had at etrailer. I was looking for a very old roof rack for my Subaru Legacy 2007 and etrailer had it. I was suspicius about it so I wrote them and got a quick and friendly answer that confirmed the fit and availability. Delivery was quick and the tracking from etrailer website was outstanding.
This Inno rack is a sturdy, basic rack. What I like best about it:
- It actually mounts to the roof tracks on my 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee (with the INTR132 fit kit), instead of to hard points on the roof like many other racks.
- It lets me use my Thule bars and accessories because Inno and Thule bars are the same size.
- It was much less expensive than the other racks I looked at.
- It is pretty easy to put on and take off.
What I don't like as much:
- The locking covers that go over the towers are pretty flimsy, and look like they are on crooked even when installed correctly
- This rack is quite noisy on the Grand Cherokee, but I think that's just the nature of the rectangular bars. (But since it is easy to take off, I plan on only putting it on the car when needed).
Also, thanks to the folks at etrailer for helping me figure out what would work best for my needs!
Excellent quality rack adapter. I have used Inno products for a number of years and they are just as good as Thule or Yakima and lower in price. I am using these feet with a square bar system I have had for years. Got a new vehicle with different rails and was please that there were adapters available from Inno.
I had been looking a very long time for a roof rack for my 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee. I wanted round or tubular crossbars, different from the “air foil” style, which were the only kind available from the factory and the many imitators. I finally found etrailer, and these fit the bill perfectly. The attachments fit the rails just like the factory model, and hold the rectangular cross bars firmly. A sturdy and solid product. And even with free shipping they arrived the morning of the second day after I ordered them, in time for the trip I was planning to take with them.
I have only had these on for a few days but all seems well. Very little extra noise although I can hear a bit when I'm going over 100 km/h but nothing too bad at all. Installation was extremely simple and straight forward. Took me all of 20 minutes and most of that was just making sure the cross bars were exactly parallel. These shipped to my house (just outside of Toronto) in around 4 days with no extra border fees which was fantastic. I only wanted these to strap a canoe onto the roof of my Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk so I didnt need anything too heavy duty or bulky and this fits the bill perfectly.
I was really pleased with the price and how quickly my crossbars arrived. Also, being able to access the installation guide on the website was awesome because the instructions that came in the box were more general.
I occasionally carry building materials that are too large for the inside of the vehicle and this roof rack is sturdy and attractive. The square bars are strong, and the connectors are easy to attach and remove on the factory roof rails. Etrailer.com is the best!
