Expert Reply:
The best roof rack crossbars for your 2014 Subaru Forester to use with the Thule Hullavator Pro Kayak Carrier and Lift Assist # TH898 are going to be from Yakima, because they are 50 inch bars - longer than other options - which are going to give you the needed space to use the Hullavator.
You did not mention if you have a naked roof with no rails or raised side rails on your 2014 Subaru Forester so I will give you the parts needed for both.
Raised Side Rails:
- Yakima JetStream Crossbars # Y00425 (Black)
- TimberLine Towers for Yakima Crossbars - Raised, Factory Side Rails # Y33TR
- Same Key System Lock Cores (Optional) # Y07204
Naked Roof (no rails)
- Yakima JetStream Crossbars # Y00425 (Black) or # Y00428 (Silver)
- SkyLine Towers for Yakima Crossbars # Y53TR
- Landing Pad 22 for Yakima SkyLine and Control Towers # Y00248
- Same Key System Lock Cores (Optional) # Y07204
I have added links to video reviews of this rack on a Forester for you to check out as well as a link to a review of the Thule Hullavator Pro Kayak Carrier # TH898.
