Flush-Mounted Roof Rack Fit For 2022 Subaru Forester Wilderness

Question

Question:

Greetings. I own a 2022 Subaru Forester Wilderness…and thats my curse. Im looking for aero crossbars that sit inside the roofrails that fit the WILDERNESS. The rails are different on the Forester for the Wilderness. Theyre actually a wider rail. Any help is greatly appreciated.

There is an option for a flush-mounted roof rack with the crossbars inside the rails that fits your 2022 Subaru Forester Wilderness, from Thule. I verified directly with them for you that this rack fits the Wilderness model, and it is made up of the following parts:

- Thule WingBar Edge Crossbars - Silver # TH43RE or Black # TH66FE

- Edge Raised Rail Feet for Thule Edge Crossbars # TH69SC

- (Optional) Thule One-Key System Lock Cylinders # TH450400

So this will fit your '22 Forester Wilderness, and give you a quiet, easy to use, highly durable roof rack. The WingBars are quiet because they have what are called WindDiffusers on top, which are rubber strips with small ridges that help direct air flow over the crossbar, minimizing wind noise you would hear with other crossbars.

And as for durability, the WingBars are constructed from aluminum which means they'll never rust, and the crossbars and feet also come with a lifetime warranty. The locks are optional so you don't have to add them for the rack to work, but they do give you the added security of locking the rack to your Subaru.
