Subaru Forester THULE Roof Rack Installation
The 2024 Subaru Forester factory raised rails can be fitted with four THULE 7104 feet and two WingBar Evo crossbars to create a complete roof transport system.
This installation uses 127 cm crossbars, with the foot positions, crossbar spacing and overhang arranged according to the factory rail support areas and intended accessories.
Installed Configuration
Vehicle: 2024 Subaru Forester
Roof type: Factory raised rails
Feet: Four THULE 7104 raised-rail feet
Crossbars: Two THULE WingBar Evo crossbars
Crossbar length: 127 cm
Key Features
Factory Raised-Rail Installation
The feet attach directly to the Forester factory raised rails without drilling into the vehicle roof or requiring a separate vehicle-specific fit kit.
Vehicle-Appropriate Crossbar Length
The 127 cm crossbars provide usable accessory space while maintaining balanced left and right overhang.
Aerodynamic Crossbar Design
The streamlined WingBar Evo profile helps reduce aerodynamic drag and wind disturbance while providing a top T-track for compatible accessories.
Expandable Transport System
The completed roof rack can support compatible roof boxes, roof-mounted bike carriers, ski carriers and other transport accessories, subject to load and fitment limits.
Installation Notes
This configuration is intended for raised factory rails. It does not apply to a bare roof, fixed-point roof or flush rails without a visible gap below the rail.
The factory rails on this vehicle use a hollow structure. The feet should be positioned near the factory support areas to reduce long-term concentrated loading.
Crossbar spacing must remain within the mounting range required by the intended roof box, bike carrier or other accessory.
The total roof load includes the feet, crossbars, carriers and cargo. Always follow the lowest-rated limit in the complete system.
Vehicles with a sunroof require a clearance check before opening or tilting the glass panel.
Adding a roof rack or cargo changes the vehicle’s overall height, center of gravity, aerodynamic noise and fuel consumption.
Frequently Asked Questions

What crossbar length is used on this Forester?
This 2024 Forester installation uses 127 cm WingBar Evo crossbars. Other model years should be checked separately.
Can the feet be installed anywhere along the rails?
The feet should be positioned near the factory rail support areas, especially when the raised rails use a hollow structure.
Can a roof box or bike carrier be added?
Yes, after checking crossbar compatibility, spacing, accessory width, combined load and overall vehicle height.
