Will Yakima Skybox Cargo Box Fit Thule AeroBlade Crossbars On 2014 Subaru Forester

Question:

Hi, So heres my current setup. I have a 2014 Subaru Forester, with Factory Rails. I installed the Thule AeroBlade Loadbars - ARB53 with 450R foot mounts. I have a Yakima SkyBox 16. Im trying to figure out if I can fit two Thule 575 mounts on either side. Thanks,

I pulled some Thule AeroBlade crossbars along with the mounting hardware for a Yakima Skybox part # Y95AV to do a test fit for you.

The Thule Snowboard Rack needs 4-1/2 to 5 inches of free bar space to fit, so if you have that much space on your crossbars with the cargo box mounted you would have enough room to mount the carrier. I have attached a link to a product review video you can check out. That rack has been discontinued so I've linked the page to all the racks we carry that can transport 4 boards.
