Yakima PowderHound Snow Roof Rack - 2007 BCS

Yes. It also fits square bars (Thule) and many sizes/shapes of factory bars. But certainly round bars like the ones the Q towers use.

They do. The universal mounting hardware on the Powderhound will fit the factory rack of the Subaru Forester. If you don't have a factory rack (naked roof), you will need Q-Towers, clips, and bars along with the Powderhound accessory. The Forester's factory siderails and crossbars are pretty strong so, if you have these, all you need to buy is either the Powderhound (only carries 4 pairs of skis or 2 snowboards) or Big Powderhound (carries 6 pairs of skis or 4 snowboards). I would recommend going with the Big Powderhound as you will regret not having the ability to carry more skis at some point.

You're in luck! The new Powderhounds are currently shipping with lock cores! These are included in the package and are super easy to install.

This rack will fit just fine as long as you have the cross bars for your factory rack. They'll work with pretty much everything.

Hey Jim,

As long as you have the factor crossbars this rack will fit your rig right out of the box without having to purchase anything extra.

IMO it is very easy. It comes with a small hex key (wrench) that is used to clamp the bracket to the bar. The first time may take 15 minutes or so, but after the initial install they are very easy to take on and off. Be warned, without lock cores (also easy to install) you risk someone stealing the rack and whatever it might be holding at the time.

Sure does Sue, right out of the box. You don't even have to buy anything in addition to this rack.

You Can do it! (If not, pay the ski-bum neighbor kid to do it) Go to the yakima website to be sure it will fit.

Product Dimensions: 24 x 5 x 4.5 inches (this is what amazon says at least)
