Expert Answers about Chevrolet Roof Basket


  • Will Thule TH859XT Cargo Basket Interfere with Roof Mounted Antenna on Roof of 2011 Kia Soul
  • Regarding the Thule Canyon XT # TH859XT and your antenna: Generally speaking, the roof mounted antennas are typically angled rearward, which coupled with the fact that the bottom of the basket would sit about a 1/2 inch above the top of your crossbars would usually prevent the antenna from getting in the way of a basket or roof cargo box. Since the basket is a total of 49 inches long, my best advice for you would be to hold a measuring tape at 49 inches up to the roof, centered on the...

  • Cargo Basket with Crossbars for Carrying Bikes and Skis for 2015 Toyota 4Runner
  • I have a solution for you, but there are no crossbars that are designed to mount to the frame of the Rhino-Rack Xtray Roof Mounted Steel Cargo Basket # RMCB02 or # RMCB. Thule offers no feet designed to mount to a roof basket and I cannot recommend you use the Rapid Crossroad feet to secure a roof rack to the top of the Xtray. The best solution I can recommend is a different roof basket that features crossbars, like the Yakima LoadWarrior Roof Rack Cargo Basket with Extension Kit # Y07070-74....

  • Can Extension Piece on Thule Roof Cargo Basket # TH859XT-8591XT Be Removed
  • Yes, the extension on theThule Roof Cargo Basket # TH859XT-8591XT can be removed so that you can use the basket in its original length of 49 inches. With the extension added the basket measures 69 inches long. If you think you will use the extension piece at some point on the vehicle then this is definitely the way to go, since it gives you the option of going with either the longer or shorter cargo basket. I have attached a short video demonstration that you can also check out.

  • Weight Carrying Capacity for Thule AeroBlade Roof Rack with Canyon Cargo Basket on 2014 Acura MDX
  • The lowest rated component of your roof rack system will limit the weight capacity.

For example, the AeroBlade Edge Rack # TH7602-TH7603, # THKIT3132 is listed as having a 165 pound weight capacity. At this weight capacity, the Thule Canyon # TH859XT...
