Replying to: ateixeira (Jun 13, 2007 8:41 am) I've got a set, they are just the ticket for a few sheets of drywall or plywood.   However they make a serious wind howl at speed so do not plan on them being regularly attached.   John Replies to this message: tifighter (Jun 15, 2007 9:55 am) once_for_all (Jun 26, 2007 11:14 am) tifighter (Jun 26, 2007 8:35 pm) ateixeira (Jun 15, 2007 4:23 pm)

Replying to: once_for_all (Jun 15, 2007 8:17 am) Hey John, if you have the newer factory square bars, have you ever put any thule bar attachments on it? If not, any chance you could measure the width of the bar itself? That may tell me a lot. Replies to this message: once_for_all (Jun 26, 2007 11:14 am) tifighter (Jun 26, 2007 8:35 pm)

Replying to: once_for_all (Jun 15, 2007 8:17 am) I've had 5 sheets of plywood on the OE roof rack, I've shared pics here before. I'm sure it wasn't totally flat, but it made it home fine.

Replying to: tifighter (Jun 15, 2007 9:55 am) sorry about that just catching your post now. The bar extends past the roof rails by about 3 inches on each side. It can also be offset either way by an inch or two.   John Replies to this message: tifighter (Jun 26, 2007 8:35 pm)

Replying to: once_for_all (Jun 26, 2007 11:14 am) No worries.   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!
#1077 of 1409 2008 or 2009??? by gmginsfo Jul 02, 2007 (9:23 am)
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! Replies to this message: paisan (Jul 02, 2007 9:54 am) ateixeira (Jul 02, 2007 10:29 am) kavoom (Jul 23, 2007 2:53 am)

Replying to: gmginsfo (Jul 02, 2007 9:23 am) Highly doubt the H6 in the Forester. If you need an H6, go for a base model Tribecca IMHO.   -mike

Replying to: gmginsfo (Jul 02, 2007 9:23 am) Isn't it glued on? If so any universal mirror should fit.   If not, hit up a junk yard, though it'll be hard to find an 03-05 model.
#1081 of 1409 Re: Which yrs. for a used Forester best buy [away2] by p0926 Jul 22, 2007 (9:19 am)
I'm pretty sure Consumer Reports lists all used Foresters as best bets. The only two significant mechanical issues have been the potential for leaky headgaskets and bad wheel bearings on the first generation Forester. However depending on which part of the country you live in, late model used Foresters can be hard to find with asking prices not that much less than a new one.   -Frank
