Recommended Roof Rack for a 2023 Subaru Forester

Question:

I have a Thule rack and accessories from my Volvo 240 rain gutters. Can I obtain mounts that will allow me to use the rack with my 2023 Subaru Forester? Thank you for any help.

I have a great roof rack that will fit your 2023 Subaru Forester but nothing from a Volvo 240 is going to fit the Forester because of the mounting style of the side rails over rain gutters difference. For your Forester, I recommend the roof rack by Rhino Rack and it includes the following parts:

Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars - Aluminum - Black - 49" Long - Qty 2 item # RRVA126B-2

Rhino-Rack SX Series Legs for Vortex Aero Crossbars - Raised Factory Side Rails - Qty 4 item # RRSX100

This aero bar roof rack system has a 165 lbs capacity. The included locks will help to prevent theft. The rubberized vortex strips in the top channels dramatically reduce drag and wind noise.

I have linked an installation video below to help you get this roof rack set up.
