Can a Thule Mountaineer Cargo Box be Fitted with Quick Grip Mounting Hardware

Question

Question:

Can you tell me if this is possible? I can order cradles and quick grips and cut holes for the grips in the existing frame. Is there other hardware that I need? Thanks.

You can add the Quick Grip cradle, # TH8523387001, and the mount assembly, # TH05738, but like you have said you will need to make modifications to the box and that will void any warranty on the box and it can also compromise the structural integrity of the box. SO based on those things it is not recommended.

The correct hardware for the 669 box is # TH04997.
