Will the Thule Pulse Alpine Cargo Box Interfere with the Rear Hatch on a 2014 Subaru Forester
Question:
Will this thule box fit on my 2014 Forester 2.5i? It has the little spoiler on the top of the back hatch, and I plan to purchase the factory subaru aero crossbars.

Expert Reply:
I checked with Thule and the Thule Pulse Alpine cargo box, # TH613, would cause rear hatch interference on your 2014 Subaru Forester. There are several cargo boxes from Thule that will fit without rear hatch interference. I have included a list of them below:
Force XT, # TH6358B
Force XT XXL, # TH6359B
Force XT Sport, # TH6356B
Pulse, # TH615
Motion, # TH629706 and # TH629806
The Pulse medium box, # TH614, would be the closest in shape and price to the Pulse Alpine you were looking at. I have linked videos of the Pulse large box and a few other boxes for you to view.
