Roof Rack and Hullavator on 2019 Subaru Forester Sport
Question:
I have a 2019 Subaru Forester Sport and would like to update my roof rack system to carry a Hullavator, which I previously had installed on a 2013 Ford Escape. I see that you recommended the Wingbar Evo/Evo raised rail feet roof rack to someone else. I dont think the 47inch load bars are long enough for me to carry the kayak and a paddleboard. Is 53inch the next length for the load bars? Also, my Hullavator is currently on 50inch square bars and I dont think it will come off. If I purchase a new Hullavator, how easy or difficult is it to install the Hullavator on the crossbars that work with the Wingbar Evo and Evo raised rail feet system? Also, could you provide me the part numbers to order the feet, 53inch bars, and Hullavator Pro? Thank you so much!

Expert Reply:
I checked with Thule and for your 2019 Subaru Forester Sport with raised rails their Evo WingBar rack part numbers # TH711200 and # TH710401 is listed as a fit also with their Thule Hullavator Pro part # TH898 so this rack will fit and work just fine.
The Hullavator installs the easiest on aero bars like this that have channels on the tops of the bars so it will be an overall easy setup for you.
I attached an install video for the roof rack on a similar Forester as yours for you to check out as well.
