Will the Three Person SkyRise Tent Fit a 2017 Subaru Forester

Question:

Im looking into roof top tents for my 2017 Subaru Forester with a factor roof rack. What are my options? Id like to hold 3 people if possible. Any help would be awesome.

The Yakima SkyRise Tent will not work on any factory roof racks because it requires an overhand on the crossbars which is not present on a factory roof rack. However, I do still have a way for you to use the Yakima SkyRise Tent part # Y07437 which can sleep up to three people so long as they do not exceed 600 lbs total.

I spoke to my contact at Yakima and they informed me that if you remove the factory crossbars (not side rails) on your 2017 Subaru Forester you can then install one of their roof racks like the Yakima JetStream Crossbar System part # Y00425 and part # Y33TR which will then allow you to use the SkyRise.
