Shorter Cargo Box Recommendation for 2015 Acura MDX Than Thule Force XL For Hatch Clearance

Question:

I am looking for a Thule rack for a 2015 Acura MDX. I have a Thule force 625 and the factory cross bars are not adjustable and the back hatch is obstructed with the cargo box. I have the factory installed flush rails. Thanks

We have roof rack fits for your 2015 Acura MDX with flush rails, but they all use the same fixed mounting points that your factory rack would fit. That means you would have the same hatch clearance interference.

The best solution I have would be to go with a slightly shorter cargo box that wouldn't interfere. The Thule Force L part # TH6357B is right at 6 inches shorter and the Pulse M part # TH614 would be right at 10 inches shorter. These would be your best overall solutions.
