Will Malone Cargo12 Rooftop Cargo Box Fit OEM Crossbars on a 2020 Subaru Forester
Question:
Ive a 2020 Subaru Forester Touring for which I purchased roof rack crossbars from the Subaru dealership. Will Item # MPG901 properly fit my vehicle?

Expert Reply:
The Malone Cargo12 Rooftop Cargo Box # MPG901 will fit a crossbar spread of 25" -27". From what I could find it looks like the OEM crossbars can be adjusted on your 2020 Subaru Forester so you'll have to make sure that you can get the crossbars within that spacing.
If you'd like something a little bigger with more adjustments in the mounting hardware then I recommend checking out the Thule Pulse Medium Rooftop Cargo Box # TH614 which fits a crossbar spread of 23-5/8"-33-3/8" and uses a clamping system to connect to the crossbars instead of the simpler U-Bolt system that is a little more fixed.
Attached are review videos of both boxes for you to check out.
