How to Adjust my Thule Rooftop Cargo Box Forward on the Vehicle
Question:
I bought a 2020 Grand Cherokee and my box is too long in the back. Any recommendations for adjusting the fit?

Expert Reply:
If your 2020 Jeep Grand Cherokee has adjustable rails you can move them forward on the vehicle to allow for more spacing.
There is also adjustment capability made into most of the Thule Roof Boxes like the Thule Force XT L Rooftop Cargo Box part # TH6357B. This allows you to loosen the clamps and slide the box forward on the vehicle so the clamps are all the way to the rear of the slots in the bottom of the box.
On older boxes these slots might not be present and adjusting the factory roof rails will be the way to go.
