Upgrade the capability of your Subaru Forester’s factory roof rails with this crossmember system designed to maximize storage without the need for a full roof rack. Sold as a set of five, these crossmembers provide a stable and versatile foundation for mounting gear while maintaining a low-profile, vehicle-specific fitment.

Forester roof racks currently in the market require extensive hours-long interior disassembly of the side door trim & headliner in order to install. Rago’s crossmembers were designed to mount directly to the factory roof rails, drastically simplifying the installation process. The crossmembers feature universal mounting patterns, making them compatible with a wide range of accessories including rooftop tents, storage boxes, bike racks, kayak/SUP carriers, and more. Integrated mounting provisions also allow for RotopaX accessories, with additional expandability through Rago E-MSPs (coming soon) and Quick Fist mounts for added versatility.

The low-profile design keeps your setup streamlined while still offering the strength and adaptability needed for overland and everyday use. Constructed from steel and finished in a durable hammer black powder coat, these crossmembers are built to withstand the elements and heavy use on and off the trail. Proudly made in the USA, they provide a practical solution for building out your roof system without the cost or bulk of a full rack.

*Please Note: These crossmembers will not fit the 2022-2025 Forester Wilderness, as the factory roof rails are not the same.

**Please Note: Due to the curve in the factory roof rails, longer items such as a Roam storage box, large water tank, or a RTT may require removing the center crossmembers for flush mounting. Alternatively, ½” spacers can be used to align the mounting points.
