Replying to: ateixeira (Jun 12, 2007 12:09 pm) Cross Bar Kit Square, Forester 2006 I have the factory aero ones now, but they aren't wide enough for what I need to carry. These square factory bars are half the cost of the Thule kit, which is why it seems worth a look. Google turned up nothing conclusive. Dealer does not know. SF.org has one thread where a guy with a '04 was able to attach a Thule attachment to the bar. Not sure why '06 would be different, although they have separate part numbers. Such a mystery.

Replying to: tifighter (Jun 12, 2007 1:29 pm) I designed a web site for Quality Subaru in TN and put up every accessory they had for sale, and that was definitely not offered. They only had the OE ones and the round ones. You learn something every day!

Replying to: once_for_all (Jun 26, 2007 11:14 am) FWIW, I ended up buying the factory square bars (which are made by Mont Blanc) and Thule attachments work just fine. My canoe is a lot happier. My Subie bucks brought the price down to less than $10, which is way less than the Thule set up! |

Read an earlier post about '08 being a "short year," with the '09 Forester following soon thereafter. Any reviews out there summarizing what's new on the '08 and what can be expected on the '09? Please say 6 cylinders and an auto transmission to match!  Also, anyone interested in trading an auto mirror from on '03 for any manual mirror that'll fit? I hate that d--n thing!
