This particular Thule Ascent Cargo Box, part # TH603, is discontinued and is no longer available. My contact at Thule advises that the maximum crossbar spread to mount this box is 33-1/2 inches and that this box used the QuickGrip mounting system.

We do offer replacement QuickGrip mounts if you need these. The QuickGrip assembly is part # TH05738; and the replacement mounting screw is part # TH05728.
