Thule Force Roof Cargo Carrier Review - 2012 Mazda 3- Video

Thule Force Roof Cargo Carrier Review - 2012 Mazda 3

Today on our 2012 Mazda 3, we're doing a test fit of the Thule Force Medium Size Rooftop Cargo Box, this is 13 cubic feet, and it's made out of an aero skin black finish. The part number for it is TH624. We already have 3 of our 4 clamps down and secured, we're going to show you how we do this last one here at the front on the passenger side. What we'll start by doing is making sure our left side is locked. We'll unlock our right side here, and we're just going to lift up on our box. I'm going to step up into my vehicle, you can see our clamps there. A great thing about these clamps is that they do move up and down the track to fit whatever crossbar spread you may have, so we've got it right in the center, so our clamps are going to fit just snug around our bar. more

You'll want to do this for all four feet, then tighten them down. more
