Best 2009 Subaru Forester Roof Rack Options- Video
Today we're going to be taking a look at the best roof rack options available for your 2009 Subaru Forester.

Thule AeroBlade Podium Roof Rack Installation - 2009 Subaru Forester- Video
Today on our 2009 Subaru Forester we'll be test fitting the rapid podium roof rack system from Thule using part numbers THARB47, TH460R, and THKIT3079. With our roof rack assembled according to the instructions, we'll begin our test fit by removing the covers for our fixed points. These covers don't actually fully remove, they just flip up. We can then insert our bolts to each hole, making sure we tighten them down with the allen key. Then we'll go ahead and put our spacer slider over top each bolt. Now we'll grab our front bar and place it on the front part of our roof. We'll want to make sure that the bolts go through the hole in the center of our foot pack. Now we'll want to check to make sure that we have even bar overhang on each side. We'll use an allen key to tighten the two bolts on our foot pack to secure it in position where it is on the bar. We'll do this for both sides. more

Thule AeroBlade Edge Roof Rack Installation - 2009 Subaru Forester- Video
Today on our 2009 Subaru Forester, we'll be test fitting the Thule AeroBlade Edge Roof Rack system using Part Numbers TH7502-TH7502. We'll begin our test fit by placing our first bar onto the front of our roof. There's a crease in which we will set up our next tube, which will ensure our bar is perpendicular to the raised side rails. With this done, we can take the rubber coated steel straps on number three and insert it into the bottom portion of the blade. We'll then wrap the strap around the raised side rail bringing it back up into the holes of the strap, placing it into the holes of the top portion of the blade. We'll then do this on both sides and using the tensioning tool to turn the black bolt to bring the straps up around tightly against the rail. more

Thule Crossroad Roof Rack Installation - 2009 Subaru Forester- Video
Today on our 2009 Subaru Forester, we'll be test fitting the Thule Crossroads Roof Rack System using part numbers THLB50 and TH450. This roof rack system is also available as a kit with locks as part number TH45050. We'll begin our test fit by placing the front bar onto the front of our roof. Now there is a crease in which we are going to use to help us position the front bar. We'll use the crease as a guide to make sure that our feet are right next to it, which will ensure our bar is perpendicular to the rear side rails. With the front bar in place, we can pop off the end caps, bring the rubber-coated steel straps around the rail, and hook them into the connection points. more
