Description

Rago Fabrication 2019-2024 Subaru Forester Exterior Molle Storage Panels

Maximize Cargo Space. Exterior Gear Access. Made in the USA.

Turn Unused Window Space into a Storage Powerhouse

The Rago Fabrication Subaru Forester Exterior Molle Storage Panels are the ultimate solution for overlanders and weekend warriors looking to expand their cargo capacity without overcrowding the interior. Designed specifically for the 2019-2024 Forester, these panels mount to your factory roof rails and utilize the rear side windows as a secure platform for your most essential trail gear.

Engineered and manufactured in the USA, these panels provide a rugged, low-profile mounting surface that follows the natural body lines of your Subaru. Whether you need to carry extra fuel, recovery boards, or small tools, this system keeps your gear accessible and your interior cabin clutter-free.

The Problem & The Solution:

The Pain: The Forester’s interior fills up fast with camping gear, leaving no room for dirty tools or bulky fuel cans. Roof baskets are great, but reaching the top of the car every time you need a tool is a hassle.
The Rago Solution: Our Exterior Molle Panels move your gear to the side of the vehicle for instant access. They are RotopaX ready and fully customizable with any standard Molle accessory.

RotopaX Ready

Integrated mounting provisions allow for the easy addition of RotopaX mounts to carry extra fuel or water on long expeditions.

Heavy Duty Suction Support

Utilizes a premium RAM Mounts Heavy Duty Suction Cup at the bottom to ensure the panel stays rigid and secure against the glass.

Expandable Ecosystem

Pairs perfectly with Rago Roof Rail Crossmembers (AC8509501NA) and Quick Fist mounts for even more storage options.

Factory Rail Integration

Mounts directly to the OEM roof rails at the top. Designed for a straightforward install without removing your factory rails.

Low Profile Design

Precision fitment ensures the panels don't stick out excessively, maintaining the sleek, aerodynamic lines of your Forester.

Flexible Purchase Options

Available to be sold individually for single-side utility or as a pair for maximum symmetrical storage capability.

American Craftsmanship

Proudly Made in the USA with high-quality materials to ensure long-term durability and resistance to the elements.

Built for the Long Haul

These panels aren't just for looks. They are built to handle the vibrations and impacts of off-road travel. By utilizing the OEM roof rails as a primary anchor point, Rago ensures that your gear stays attached to the vehicle frame, not just the trim.

Real Owner Feedback ★★★★★

"The fitment on my 2021 Forester is perfect. I was worried about the suction cup, but the RAM heavy-duty mount is solid and doesn't budge even on washboard roads. It's the best way to carry my recovery boards and a 2-gallon RotopaX without cluttering the roof rack."

- Dave L., Forester Overlander
Important Installation Note

Drilling Required: To ensure a secure, off-road-rated fit, this installation requires drilling and riv-nut installation. While the top mounts to existing rails, the system relies on precise vehicle fitment that requires a permanent mounting point for maximum stability.

Frequently Asked Questions

+ Why is this not compatible with the Wilderness trim?

The Forester Wilderness features reinforced and redesigned roof rails that have a different profile and footprint than the standard factory rails. These panels are specifically contoured to match the standard OEM rails only.

+ Can I still go through a car wash with these installed?

We highly recommend touchless car washes only. Automatic brush washes can catch on the Molle pattern or mounted accessories, potentially damaging the panels, the accessories, or your vehicle's window and rails.

+ Is the RAM suction cup safe for my window glass?

Yes. RAM Mounts are industry leaders in heavy-duty suction technology. The suction cup is designed to distribute the load across the glass surface safely. Ensure the glass is thoroughly cleaned before installation for the best grip.

+ How difficult is the drilling/riv-nut process?

It requires a steady hand and a riv-nut tool. If you are comfortable with basic power tools, it is a straightforward process. If not, any local off-road or custom shop can easily perform the installation in about an hour.

Prop 65

California Residents

Prop 65 Warning- Product may contain chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. For more information, go to www.P65Warnings.ca.gov

Proposition 65 is a California law passed in 1986. Its goals are to protect drinking water sources from toxic substances that may cause cancer and birth defects and to reduce or eliminate exposures to those chemicals generally, for example in consumer products, by requiring warnings in advance of those exposures.

The regulation requires the State of California to revise and republish yearly a list of chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer or birth defects or other reproductive harm. The current list contains over 900 naturally occurring and synthetic chemicals. This regulation also requires manufacturers to place warnings on products that contain any of the chemicals listed by the State of California. No other states require warnings of this nature, and products with Prop 65 warning language are legal to sell in all states. Detailed information regarding requirements for compliance to the California Prop. 65 is can be found at: www.P65Warning.ca.gov
