Replacement Mounting Hardware for a Thule Alpine Roof Mount Cargo Box

Question:

Hi, Do you have u - bolts that are 10cm or 15 cm wide? I need the h/w to attach an old Thule Alpine cargo box to a 200 Toyota Sienna and a 2007 Nissa Murano. If you dont have u - bolts of this size, will you QM3 kit, part # TH04997 work for my application?

I spoke with my contact at Thule and I do have a solution for you. First, a little cargo box history: the Alpine is about 15 years old. The hardware for it is no longer available and the u-bolts that it would use are no longer made, but not to worry.

What you can do is use the QM3 hardware, # TH04997, and drill new holes in the cargo box. This is going to be the best solution for adding replacement hardware for your Alpine cargo box.
