Thule Aero-Style Crossbars for 2019 Subaru Forester

Question:

I have a 2019 Subaru Forrester and I purchased 53 inch Thule Aeroblade cross bars . The factory installed raised roof rack rails are wider in front and tapered in the rear. The 53 inch works in front but too wide in the rear. What size Aeroblades do I need?

Thule recommends using 47" crossbars for your 2019 Subaru Forester. They recently updated (and discontinued) the AeroBlade crossbars to WingBar Evo crossbars so since you are needing a smaller crossbar I recommend purchasing a set which is part # TH711220 for Black or part # TH711200 for Silver.

The WingBar Evo has an upgraded design that better matches newer vehicle designs, it features quick access points to mount T-Track accessories, plus the middle rubber piece has been upgraded to 2 strips where the T-Bolt (for the accessories) slides into - eliminating the need to trim the rubber piece for different applications. I have attached a review video for the WingBar Evo crossbars that you can check out.

Please note that the WingBar Evo crossbars are compatible with both the older Rapid Crossroad Feet TH450R as well as the newer Evo Raised Rail Feet # TH710401 so you won't need new feet for your application.
