Parts Needed To Install Thule Adventurer Cargo Box On 2003 Chevrolet Venture Crossbars

Question:

I purchased a Thule Adventurer Cargo Box from a neighbor but the clamps do not fit my roof rack. Can you advise on Replacement Mounting Hardware for a Thule Adventurer Roof Mount Cargo Box for a 2003 Chevy Venture? Thank you!

I called my contact at Thule and asked about the Adventurer cargo box on your Venture. They were unable to tell me if the box would fit but we may have a solution. Since the original box came with U-bolts for installation, you may be able to find replacement U-bolts at a local hardware store that can be used.

We do offer a replacement hardware kit, part # TH04997. This kit does not use U-bolts but instead uses a more standard bolt and plates. I cannot guarantee a fit for your crossbars but it would probably be much easier finding standard style bolts to work with this kit. This kit will work with crossbars that measure 3-5/8 inches wide or less.
