Crossbars for the third-generation Subaru Forester designated as SH, manufactured from 2008 to 2013. All kits in our offer are designed for mounting on raised rails, which are typical for this generation.
The Subaru Forester SH features raised rails on the roof that stand above the sheet metal. You can easily recognize them by the free space between the rail and the roof, allowing you to easily slide your fingers underneath.
The roof rack feet attach by directly clamping the rail profile. Before seating the feet, we recommend cleaning dust and grease from the surface of the rails so that the rubber contact pads hold firmly in place.
The SH generation was produced until 2013, but the next version hit the market already during 2012. If you own a vehicle from 2012 or 2013, check your vehicle registration document to verify the body shape so you do not accidentally select crossbars for the newer Forester SJ model.
The exact parts included vary by manufacturer. Therefore, we recommend checking the package contents and mounting method directly on the product detail page.
The Forester is built for trips into nature and transporting sports gear. When loading bicycles or packing a roof box, keep in mind the taller build of the car, which makes having a sturdy step under your feet quite useful during loading.
If you plan to use your own bike racks or roof box, choose crossbars with a matching bar profile, or utilize the T-slot in the crossbar. Choose a suitable set for your car, or if you have a different model year, browse the main Forester model category or the complete Subaru range.
