In order to replace your old locks on the Rhino Rack Zenith 400L with new locks like the # RRRK005-4 the locks will need to be unlocked and you will need access to the rear of the lock. With the key inserted you'll need to turn the key to the unlock position so it will depress the tumblers or spines on the lock. At the back there is a metal tab holding the lock in. Use a flat blade tool or knife to press that tab down while at the same time pushing the lock out from the back.

The WeatherTech Easy-On Stone and Bug Shield Deflector # WT50261 for your 2016 Subaru Forester will install with short fasteners on the underside of the hood, and then 4 bump-ons will be placed on the top side of the hood.
I have attached the installation instructions for the # WT50261 for you.

The Yakima RoadShower # Y79VR should not be mounted across the roof rails of your 2020 Subaru Forester. Manufacturer roof rails aren't designed to carry the brunt of loads the way roof racks are, and it would be very difficult to use the RoadShower with it oriented that way. So you will need a roof rack for your 2020 Subaru Forester:
- Yakima JetStream Crossbars # Y00425 (Black)
- TimberLine Towers for Yakima Crossbars # Y33TR
- Same Key System Lock Cores (Optional) # Y07204

The RockyMounts MonoRail Solo 2 Bike Platform Rack # RKY10007-05 is only available with the 1-1/4" shank that comes with the adapter sleeve for a 2" receiver. The section for a second bike can be removed though so that it's the exact same thing as the MonoRail Solo 1 # RKY10007.
If your only reservation is about the adapter sleeve then I'd go with this bike rack because all of the other bike racks either can't carry up to two 60 lb bikes, or they can't be converted into a one bike rack.

The crossbar spread range listed in the installation instructions is just a recommended crossbar spread. If you needed to space the crossbars closer or further apart, you can. Most roof mounted accessories require crossbar spreads between 23 inches and 32 inches, however, you can move the crossbars to any spread as long as the crossbars stay attached to the factory side rails on your Forester. As you said, the maximum spread between the crossbars is only limited by the space available on... view full answer...
Yes, you are correct that both keys included in the RockyMounts Lock Core Set # RKY0334 are identical and each will operate all four of the included lock cores. These are compatible with the RockyMounts rooftop and truck-bed bike-rack models with locking quick-release skewers. Their zinc plating helps prevent corrosion.
This lock kit is covered by RockyMounts' limited lifetime warranty and it is illustrated in the linked review video. view full answer...
I believe the video that you are referencing is the installation of the Curt Hitch Receiver, # C13144, on a 2014 Subaru Forester where the hitch shield is re-installed around the hitch.
When it comes to installing the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver, # 75876, on your 2015 Subaru Forester, yes, you can re-install the heat shield just as long as you remove the portion of the shield that comes in contact with the frame. The hitch must be installed directly to the frame of the... view full answer...

I found the owners manual of your 2006 Subaru Forester and I was able to determine that tire chains should only go on the front axle and they need to be Class S compatible. You also have to stay under 19 MPH too.
The # TH01571265 that you referenced are NOT Class S compatible so if you could get back to me with your tire size I'll recommend your best option! view full answer...
The Draw Tite hitch part # 75876 that is a confirmed fit for your 2017 Subaru Forester has the fit tip that states that access holes may be required to be enlarged, but if you check out the install instructions it does not mention that. Only the heat shield trimming.
I attached an install video for this hitch for you to check out as well. In it we did enlarge the holes to make the install smoother. You can enlarge yours you can then spray paint over the holes if needed to protect them. view full answer...
For your 2017 Subaru Forester, all of the trailer hitch receivers available are custom fit and don't require you to drill into the frame, however every one from either manufacturer, may require enlarging the existing holes using a drill or rotary tool. The Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2" # 75876 you referenced is a very nice rounded tube design with a black powdercoat finish over an e-coat base for superior rust protection and resistance.

The Tekonsha Primus you mentioned should work very well for you and would be a good choice unless you are planning on towing a trailer with an electric over hydraulic braking system some time in the future. If this is the case, you might want to go with the Tekonsha Prodigy P2, part # 90885.
Since you need to provide a connector for the trailer anyway, I would upgrade to the more common 7-way connector. This way you could tow the trailer with a different vehicle if need be.

If you go with this Curt hitch and you will be using it for a bike rack or a cargo carrier then Curt requires the use of stabilization strap # 18050. The Draw-Tite hitch, # 36523, does not have this requirement.
