  • Roof Mount Cargo Carrier Options for a 2009 Honda Fit without a Roof Rack
  • The only roof mounted carrier that is recommended for vehicles without a roof rack are some cargo bags like the Rightline Ace Cargo Bag, # RL100A20. This cargo bag has straps that can run through the vehicles interior and then out around the carrier to secure the bag to the vehicle. If you were interested in a cargo basket or a cargo box, you will want to add a roof rack. There are many different roof rack options for your 2009 Honda Fit.

  • Parts Needed to Add a Roof Rack and Roof Cargo Box on a 2001 Toyota Corolla
  • For your 2001 Toyota Corolla, the Yakima roof rack with Q-clips has been discontinued. They don't currently have a system for your vehicle, so I recommend the Inno roof rack. It consists of # INXB100-2, # INXS200, and # INK134. Once you have a roof rack setup installed, you can use a cargo box to transport extra gear on the roof rack. I would recommend a shorter box on the Corolla like the Yakima RocketBox Pro 14, # Y07192, due to the shorter length of the roof on your Corolla. I added...

  • Roof Rack and Compatible Cargo Box for 2020 Mercedes Benz GLS 450
  • In order to allow the rear hatch to open with a cargo box like the Yakima Grand Tour # YA74FR attached, you will need at least 48" from the center of the front crossbar to the line where the roof meets the rear hatch. We have not tested this to confirm for ourselves (because of you've got a new model year vehicle), but Yakima does list both the Grand Tour 16 # YA74FR and 18 # YA84FR as confirmed fits on your vehicle. In order to carry these roof boxes you will need a roof rack kit that...

  • Broken Lock Core on Sears X-Cargo Roof Box
  • According to our contact at Thule, the manufacturer of the Sears X-Cargo rooftop cargo boxes, the locks on the Sears X-Cargo boxes are riveted into place and they are not replaceable. The only other option is to replace the old box with a new box. We offer several roof boxes for you to check out, including Thule boxes. I have attached a link to our selection for you to check out. One of our most popular cargo boxes is the Thule Force XT XXL, # TH6359B.

  • Roof Rack Needed to Carry Roof Box, Bike Rack, and Kayak on a 2006 Honda Pilot
  • Out of the Yakima and Thule options for the naked roof on your 2006 Honda CR-V I recommend going with Yakima. The Thule options have bars that end inside the foot packs. This gives the roof rack a great OEM look but minimizes the amount of crossbar space that can be used. To use a JetStream aero bar roof rack on your CR-V you will need the JetStream bars, part # Y00425, along with the SkyLine Towers # Y53TR, and the Landing Pad 8 # Y00228. If you would like to add locks to this roof rack...

  • Parts Needed to Mount Thule Summit Cargo Box to 2010 Subaru Outback Wagon with Factory Roof Rack
  • I am assuming that you are speaking of the Thule Summit Cargo Box and are looking to mount it to the factory roof rack on your 2010 Subaru Outback Wagon. I spoke with my contact at Thule and as long as your friend has all of the mounting hardware for the cargo box you won't need anything additional. The box will mount directly to your factory roof rack. If the hardware for the cargo box is missing you will need Replacement QM3 - Quick Mount Hardware, # TH04997.

  • Parts Needed for Installation of a Roof Rack Cargo Box on a 2009 Volkswagen Passat Sedan
  • The Thule Sidekick is recommended as a fit for your 2009 VW Passat sedan. Since you have a sunroof, you will need to be careful when opening it with any roof mount accessories, like the cargo box, installed. You may find that with some accessories you cannot open the sun roof. The Thule WingBar Evo roof rack is a great choice for your Passat Sedan. It consists of 53 inch WingBars, # TH711400 in silver or # TH711420 for black, a Rapid Traverse Foot Pack, # TH480R, and Roof-Rack Fit Kit,...

  • Roof Rack and Thule Cargo Box Recommended for 2022 Kia Telluride
  • I'd recommend a Yakima JetStream roof rack. The rack provides aero-style crossbars which offer less wind resistance than round or square crossbars, and would be much more quiet. You can assemble the roof rack using these parts: • 60 Inch JetStream crossbars part # Y00426 or silver as part # Y00429 • Yakima BaseLine towers, part # Y28TR • Vehicle Specific fit clips, part # Y06125 and # Y06165 (different clips are used for the front and rear crossbar) A Thule cargo box would be compatible...

  • Will the Rhino Rack Euro Bars Mount on a 2012 Toyota Prius c
  • I do recommend using the Rhino Rack Roof Rack that uses the Vortex aero bars; the parts required for this roof rack are the # RRVA106B-2, # RRRLKVA and # DK351. In addition to the greater options for roof mounted accessories, the aerodynamic Vortex aero bars will help reduce wind noise compared to the square bars for your Prius c For a roof mounted cargo box, the SportRack Vista XL Cargo Box - Roof Mount - 18 cu ft # SR7018 would be a nice option that gives you 18 cu/ft of storage space...

  • Are There Lift Brackets Available for a Roof Box To Mount Inside Factory Rails on 2004 Jeep Liberty
  • I'm not aware of there being a specific part available for this and most roof rack crossbars like this will have a slight upward bow to them. Either way, I don't think this is going to affect your ability to mount a box like the Thule Force XT Sport # TH6356B since they'll sit inside the side rails you're referring to. This box is only 24-3/4" wide, so it shouldn't be impeded, but there are some other boxes that are more narrow that will also fit on your factory crossbars. If a 24-3/4"...

  • Mounting Kit for Thule Summit Roof Mounted Cargo Box
  • The correct mounting hardware for your Thule 631 Summit Roof Cargo Box would be the # TH04997 kit you'd looked at. This is a slightly different kit that what was originally used, but because the box was discontinued in late 2001, they don't offer the original mounts anymore. Thule assures me that the # TH04997 will work. I'll provide a diagram that will give you an idea of how the mounts and the box go together. These mounts are compatible with crossbars that are less than 3-11/16 inches...

  • Roof Rack for Using Thule Hyper XL Cargo Box TH612 on 2016 Toyota 4Runner
  • If you already have roof rack crossbars that run side to side on the roof of the 4Runner then the Thule Hyper XL Rooftop Cargo Box TH612 can be mounted directly to those bars. The box mounting hardware will directly fit crossbars whose dimensions are up to 3-1/2-inches wide x 1-11/16-inches tall. The video you referenced, which is linked, does show an aftermarket roof rack installed on the 4Runner. That vehicle did NOT have factory cross bars on the roof, only side rails that run front-to-back....

  • Parts Needed to Add Roof Rack to 2016 Ford Explorer to Carry Thule Pulse Cargo Box
  • In order to add a roof rack to your 2016 Ford Explorer I recommend using the Thule Roof Rack Kit using parts # TH711400, # TH460R, # THKIT3151. This roof rack gives you a high quality Thule rack with aerodynamic crossbars that will limit wind noise and will allow you to use the Thule Pulse Roof Cargo Box # TH615 you were looking at. Since the roof rack towers don't come with locks included I recommend adding the Thule One-Key System Lock Cylinders - Qty 4 # TH450400, which allows you...

  • The Yakima SkyBox 18 Cargo Box, # Y07336, is designed to be mounted on a roof rack system.
