Question:

Hi, I just ordered the VW roof bars and want to buy the small Thule Force XT Cargo Box. Will the Thule mechanism fit the VW bars?

The installation of your Thule # TH6357B cargo box will involve 3 parts; (1.) Roof Rails that run from front to back which you ordered, (2.) Roof crossbars and feet that run from side to side, and (3.) The Thule # TH6357B cargo box.

You will need the Thule # TH712200 Crossbars, and the Thule # TH710401 crossbar feet for raised roof rails. Your cargo box will easily attach to these crossbars.

Optionally you can install locks for the feet by ordering the Thule # TH710401 one-key lock system.

Once you have crossbars there are many other accessories that you can install for hauling canoes, kayaks, skis, bikes, and more.

I have included links to each of these items and a typical installation video.
