Replacement Hinge For Older Thule Roof Cargo Box

Question:

Im trying to determine what Thule Roof Box I have in order to know which hinge to order. From looking at it, I think that I probably have an Evolution 1800 673B OR Evolution 1600 672B. The problem is, at least from the research Ive done, these boxes take different, but very similar, hinges. The 673B should take a TH14936 The 672B should take a TH14933 These parts look virtually identical, but Im not sure that they are. The exterior dimensions of my box are approximately 30inch wide by 86inch long by 12inch tall. Photos attached to help with identification. Thanks in advance!

You can do a quick check of the hinges you have on your older Thule cargo box. I have attached a photo you can use as a guide.

If you open the box and look at the inner part of the large arm and it has a White piece near the pivot point, the replacement hinge you need is part # TH14936. If that same piece is Black the replacement hinge is part # TH14933.

These hinges have different tension so I would recommend replacing both at the same time so that you do not have a chance that the lid would open unevenly.
