How Much Clearance Does the Thule Force XT XL Require To Open Rear Hatch
Question:
Is the distance the same for a ThuleForce XL?
asked by: Mark
Helpful Expert Reply:
The Thule Force XT XL # TH6358B requires that your Rhino Rack RS Roof Rack must be positioned on the vehicle's roof so that there is a minimum of 23-5/8" between the front and rear cross bar (center on center) and a maximum of 35-1/2" between them. The Force XT XL also requires 51-1/8" minimum between the center of the front crossbar to the spot on the roof where the rear hatch meets; as long as you've got that much space you'll be able to open your rear hatch unobstructed.
