Expert Reply:
The Malone DownLoader Kayak Carrier with Tie-Downs # MPG114MD is designed to fit round, square, aero, elliptical, and most factory crossbars so it should fit the aero style crossbars on your 2014 Subaru Forester. The Malone AirFlow2 crossbars are 3" wide x 1" tall and the DownLoader will fit this so you can use these dimensions as a reference. Plus, if you have the T-slots on your crossbars you can use the Fit Kit # MPG8287 and not have to worry about the clamps fitting at all. One of the best things about this carrier is that ability to add the load assist # MPG351XL so that you can load your kayak much easier. We also carry a part that has the kayak cradles and load assist together. That is part # MPG114MD-351XL.
