Will the Thule Hull-A-Port Kayak Carrier Fit a 2014 Subaru Forester Factory Roof Rack and Sea Kayaks
Question:
Have a 2014 Subaru Forester with factory side rails and OE Subaru aero crossbars .... Will the TH834 fit? If yes, will they accommodate 14foot sea kayaks? Thank you.

I checked with Thule and the Hull-A-Port kayak carrier # TH834 does fit the factory roof rack crossbars on your 2014 Subaru Forester. This kayak carrier will work with kayaks up to 36 inches wide and up to 75 pounds. If your sea kayaks fit that description then this carrier will work. You would need to use 1 Hull-A-Port kayak carrier # TH834 per kayak. I have included a link to a video review of this carrier for you.
Be sure to consult the vehicle owners manual for the roof rack capacity prior to loading. I also recommend using a tire step such as # ALL647596 for safer roof access compared to standing in an open vehicle doorway.
