As long as your 2014 Subaru Forester has the factory side rails that run front to back you can install the Thule AeroBlade Edge roof rack, # TH7502-TH7502. I have included a link to a video showing installation of the rack on a 2013 Forester. Installation on a 2014 would be the same.

If your Forester does not have the side rails that run front to back then to add an AeroBlade Edge roof rack you will need to use crossbars and feet # TH7602-TH7602 and Podium foot pack # THKIT3079. I have linked a video showing installation of this roof rack as well.

Yakima's Skyline towers part #Y53TR can fit the tracks of the Retrax XR that you have with the landing pad 1 part #Y00221 but there isn't a way with the Baseline towers. Your Yakima Corebar or Jetstream bars will work with the Skyline towers…

According to Rhino Rack, if you were to go with the shorter bars, you'll only have 1-1/4 inch of leeway on each side which isn't enough in their opinion. I'd recommend going with the 71 inch bars so you'll be certain of a good fit. As…
