Can a Cargo Box Be Installed on a 2005 Cadillac SRX with Thule AeroBlade Edge Roof Rack

Question:

I have a 2005 Cadillac SRX 1st generation SRX. Your website states that the TH7503-TH7503 is the correct one for my vehicle. But Thules website lists the 7502 for my vehicle. Which one is correct? Will the sunroof still open with these crossbars and can I put a cargo box on them?

The correct Thule AeroBlade Edge Roof Rack for your 2005 Cadillac SRX is part # TH7502-TH7502. I confirmed this with Thule for you as well. In regards to sunroof clearance, this is not something that we nor Thule tests for because is it not recommended. The noise associated with having the sunroof open and a set of crossbars installed can be somewhat unbearable as well.

In regards to a cargo box, you can absolutely install one on your SRX using the AeroBlade Edge Roof Rack. I recommend the Thule Pulse Medium Rooftop Cargo Box part # TH614 because its 14 cu ft of storage capacity will be the perfect size for your SRX. The Pulse has Easy-Grip mounting clamps which cuts down the time it takes to install and remove the box, locks for security, and it is made in the USA.
