Which Adapters Do I Need to Fit a Bike and Ski Rack to My 2015 Volvo XC70 With Factory Roofrack
Question:
Bought the car used, came with the side rails F to B and cross bars R to L that say Volvo but I assume they are rebranded Thule parts. Sweden style. What t-slot adapter bolts do I need to attach my already owned Thule ski rack and bike rack criterium?

Expert Reply:
I checked with Thule and they tell me that your roof rack is not a Thule roof rack. However, that doesn't mean the hardware to connect your Thule products will not work anyway. But you'll want to measure to make sure first.
I went out and measured the adapters that are made for your Criterium which are # XADAPT8. The head is 3/4 inch square and 1/8 inch thick. The shaft of the long bolt is 2-3/8 inches long and the shaft of the short bolt is 1-3/8 inches long. See the picture I've attached.
We also have adapters for the Thule ski racks, # THXADAPT7, that are likely what you need. This will fit the Flat Top and Pull Top ski and snowboard carriers.
