Does this rack work for 2014/2015 subaru foresters? If so, what is the correct notch position?

I have a 2011 Outback and it works perfectly. You'll just have to notch it on to get an answer for that part, but the straps are long enough to get up there and attach. When they get to the end of their spool they're harder to pull, but they come. Hope this helps!

I have a 2003 forester and the rack fits but you can not open the hatch with the rack on. If you do it will bend the top of the hatch. However, it is a great rack and I don't know about 2014/15 forester.

I actually did have this mounted (Position 13) on my 2010 Forester which is basically the same car before the styling change without issue but...This car does not have the optional rear "spoiler" above the back glass. The upper straps, after the rack is ratcheted down with bikes mounted does put a decent load on this area and if a spoiler present, it might not support this load very well. If your car does have the spoiler, this will not work without damage.

Yes, I use this on a 2015 Subaru Outback, which has similar crossbars to the 2012. You first swivel the factory crossbars so that they go across the roof. They will snap into place. You then install each Thule on each crossbar. The skis must go lengthwise with the car, and the tips of the skis (fronts) need to pointing to the back of the car, per Thule. Tip: I open my trunk when I put the skis in the Thule, so that I make sure the skis are far enough forward to not interfere with the trunk. This is a great rack. Good luck!

I know it works for the 2012. If the 2014 takes the same OEM barrier as the 2012, this one should work. However, I thought Forester got a pretty major facelift in 2014 or 2015.

I just installed in my 2014 Crosstrek, guide says it should fit the forester as well. There is a video of the install in a Forester online at another websites that sells hitches and this adaptor, looks pretty straightforward. Kit includes everything you need. Took me about 15 minutes on the Crosstrek.

You need to have some type of cross bars to mount the racks on. I have them mounted on a Subaru Forrester

Yes, I think you could. You may want to go to an REI and try it out in the parking lot before you buy it on Amazon, but the metal clamps lock on with a semi-oval angle that grabs the edges of a more rounded bar (which are flat on bottom). Make sense? I can't promise since I used factory Subaru racks that are flatter, but there should be plenty of space for a square bar given the adjustments you can make on the clamp tightness.

Don't own a Subaru so I haven't the foggiest. It fits fine on my suburban. Seems to be a good quality rack

Kris, Curt Manufacturing , should be able to tell you. The notch out on the right side is for the muffler, The hitch should be to the rear of the spare tire. eddie

Out Subaru has the same style cross bars as you mention. The hardware included with the carrier worked great. They are a squared "u" shape and work well.

I bought one for the 2014 Forester. Great! Should fit the 2015 since it is the same basic body style.

Should be just fine, call Thule customer service for further info. I found that I needed to use small pieces of microfiber cloth on the upper arms to stop the marks left on the top of the trunk left by the rubber. Still the best rack I've ever used, easy on and off, very stable at any speed.

According to the Curt Manufacturing web site, yes this will fit a 2015 Subaru Forester. Confirmation can be found at curtmfg dot com and using their "Quick hitch lookup". The initial search results show Class 2 hitches so be sure to select "Class 3" from the tool bar just above "search results". Good to go. MSRP 249.65 from Curt so it's a great deal on Amazon.

My barrier works A-1 super 8th my 2009 Forester. A dealer can tell.you how.much the cargo space has been modified from the 2009-10 models to the present configuration

I think Yakima really designed this particular rack for the factory cross bars, since many of their other racks work with their proprietary shape. So, if your car is rolling with those bad boys, you should be all set; they set up on my Subaru no problem!

I have both a Thule and a Yakama rack on two different cars and put the Roof box on either. On my last SUV I was able to put this Box on the Factory bars.Hope this helps.
