Upgraded U-Bolt Mounting Hardware Recommendation for Older Thule Excursion Cargo Box
Question:
Hello expert, I have an older Thule excursion cargo box. I am missing a couple bolts for the mounting kit. The kit for the box I think is the Replacement QM3 - Quick Mount Hardware - for Adventurer Cargo Box. In stead of getting replacement bolts for the box , can I just replace the bolts with u-bolts? Thanks,

I spoke with my contact at Thule just to be sure we could recommend the correct hardware for your Excursion cargo box.
He said that the original replacement hardware is the Replacement Quick Mount Hardware Kit, # TH04997. If you want U-bolts, the Replacement Mounting Hardware for Car Top Cargo Roof Cargo Box # CTC-18PARTS will give you the same 4 inch centers needed.
