The new forester has swing roof racks that are neat, and fun. They are however a little weak and somewhat difficult to fit accessories to.
I believe they are rated to 40kgs only.
There is a good solution - coming onto market next month - just in time for XMAS......
RAK Australia (phone 0299971211 www.rak.com.au) have a add-on aluminium roof bar system. It is very strong - even suitable for roof top tents. It has a track for fitting accessories which is quick and easy - and secure. The accessories are well priced too.
The RAK roof bars will cost $200- $250.
