Parts that fit your 2017 Forester

Cargo boxes for your 2017 Subaru Forester

A cargo box mounts on the crossbars above. Check the box’s crossbar spread range and make sure your rear hatch opens clear of it. Boxes are oversized, so most are pickup at our Ashland store, where we’ll mount it for you.

Bike racks for your 2017 Subaru Forester

Roof bike racks clamp to your crossbars. Hitch bike racks need a receiver hitch — check whether yours is 1.25″ or 2″ before ordering.
