Replacement Mounting Hardware for Rooftop Cargo Carrier to Fit 2017 Ford Explorer Roof Rack

Question:

I have a roof top carrier of yours and recently went from a 2015 Explorer to a 2017 Explorer. The mounting bracket is too short to align properly on the 2017. Do you sell just the new brackets? I want to use my current cross rails with new brackets.

I could not find order history from you for a rooftop cargo carrier purchase but we can help. We do carry loads of replacement parts, adapters and other accessories for rooftop cargo boxes like # Y07337and cargo baskets like # C18115.

The Ford Explorer is currently in its 5th generation; both the 2015 and 2017 model years are within that same generation. I could find no information suggesting that Ford changed the OEM roof rack crossbars from the 2015 model year to the 2017.

Please confirm the brand and part number for your carrier, and also the dimensions of your roof rack crossbars (their width and thickness). You can use the linked pages to view available cargo boxes and baskets.
