Question:

If your 2016 Subaru Forester has a roof setup that has two raised side rails that run from front to back you would want the Thule Aeroblade Edge Roof Rack part # TH7502B-TH7502B that is a confirmed fit.
If instead your roof is naked without rails you would want the part numbers # TH7602B-TH7602B and # THKIT3079 to complete the rack.
Both of these racks mentioned are Thule Aeroblade Edge racks. I really like these racks because they give an OEM look with the bars not extending past the feet of the rack and because they are super quiet.
For a bike rack that allows you to keep the front wheel installed you would want the # TH599000.
