Today on our 2009 Subaru Forester we'll be test fitting the rapid podium roof rack system from Thule using part numbers THARB47, TH460R, and THKIT3079. With our roof rack assembled according to the instructions, we'll begin our test fit by removing the covers for our fixed points. These covers don't actually fully remove, they just flip up. We can then insert our bolts to each hole, making sure we tighten them down with the allen key. Then we'll go ahead and put our spacer slider over top each bolt. Now we'll grab our front bar and place it on the front part of our roof. We'll want to make sure that the bolts go through the hole in the center of our foot pack. Now we'll want to check to make sure that we have even bar overhang on each side. We'll use an allen key to tighten the two bolts on our foot pack to secure it in position where it is on the bar. We'll do this for both sides.
Then we'll take our nut, tighten it on our bolt, which will tighten our foot pack against the roof line of our vehicle. We can then use the included tool to finish the tightening process. We'll grab our rear bar and place it onto the rear part of our roof. Once we have the bolts through the foot pack, we'll check for even bar overhang and then we can repeat the same tightening process that we used at the front. That completes today's test fit for the Thule rapid podium roof rack system using part numbers THARB47, TH460R, and THKIT3079, on our 2009 Subaru Forester. .

Looks awesome, very functional, but I would recommend getting the windscreen as well. I didn’t want one, but if you have a sunroof and plan on using it, you’ll need the screen to avoid the noise. I haven’t maxed out the weight, but have put bikes, kayaks, and a roof box on with no issues. Would recommend 100%.
Delivered the order correctly the first time!
And fit the car perfectly. Excellent design and manufacturing! Rock Solid.
Excellent product. Doesn’t bring locks. It doesn’t say it anywhere
Strong and sturdy and no wind noise. Very satisfied!
Bought a used 2010 Subaru Forester with no roof rails. These fit the fixed points perfectly.
Excellent customer service, quick delivery, nice packaging, and perfect fit! Very satisfied. E-trailer is a great company.
Great products with superior customer s ervice!
Rack I ordered was delayed by the manufacturer, but etrailer.com
kept me updated on the status and offered alternatives. When it did arrive, no problem mounting on my vehicle. Everything was as advertised. Would not hesitate to order again.
Installed in minutes with included tools. make sure to check all boxes for all parts (some bolts are in the podium box). Instructions are easy. Looks and works great on my new Forester. Already picked up two sheets of plywood and one of sheet rock with it.
Easy to install and have held up great with lots of use a weight. Would Definitely purchase again. Thanks for having something available for those that purchased a vehicle that never started with rails in the first place.
I ordered a roof rack and it was delivered in a timely fashion. I had it installed and it looks great. Need to test out its functionality.
Website was easy to order from. Items shipped immediately and were delivered quickly at no charge. Roof rack assembled in less than an hour. This is my second order from etrailer and I highly recommend them.
Product is great. Shipping fast. Packing terrible. Box way too big for the 2 items etrailer shipped. What a waste of cardboard and paper.
Kate was so easy and awesome to work with! Will order through your team again.
Fit kit worked well. I had no problems using my fixed points on my Subaru Forester.
The Product was delivered in a very timely manner and was in flawless condition.
I bought the rack for my niece and put it on her vehicle. Everything that I needed was included and went on with no glitches. She has used it for canoe and skis and is very happy with it.
Parts arrived as promised, got installed on my Subaru and looks great. Can't wait to try it out.
Works as intended
Product received was as described and shipped in a timely manner. I would not hesitate to do business with them again.
fits like a glove - perfect...
Good rack and good service!
