58 Inch Long Crossbar Roof Rack Recommendation for a 2002 Subaru Forester with Raised Rails

Question:

Hi. i recently asked a question but need more info. Will a 60inch thule aeroblafe bar fit a 2002 subaru forester with raised rails front to back aka factory bars running front to back. I assume the footpack would be the 450 or 450R crossroad...but would like to ask that too. I just want to make sure the track on the bottom of the bars goes far enough to be compatable with the footpack on this width of car. Thanks!

I have a solution that will work for you, but Thule does not have any roof rack fits for the 2002 Subaru Forester with raised rails that run front to back.

The Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Roof Rack will work though. You would want part # RRSX100 for the Legs that sit on the factory raised side rails and then part # RRVA106S-2 for the crossbars.
