Recommended Roof Rack for Antenna Clearance on a 2023 Subaru Forester Wilderness
Question:
Will the 54inch Rhino Vortex Aero Crossbars fit the 2023 Subaru Forester Wilderness? Ive read that the Thule 53inch Auro bars do not fit because of the thicker roof rails. Also, I have a 74inch Thule box - will the box hit the antenna since the mounts are low profile?

Yes, they definitely will fit. The 54" Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars item # RRVA137B-2 will attach to your Forester's factory rails using the Rhino-Rack SX Series Legs item # RRSX100.
As far as the antenna goes it'll be close but it'll fit. We had a 2021 Forester in the shop recently and installed this very rack and the top of the cross bar cleared the antenna. I have attached a couple of pictures below and linked the installation video we did.
