Does the Thule Motion XT L Roof Box Fit on a 2015 Acura MDX?
Question:
I have a 2015 Acura MDX with flush rails and Thule Aero Bars. Does the Thule Motion XT L Roof Box fit? Can I fully open the trunk? thanks!

Expert Reply:
If you have flush factory rails on your 2015 Acura MDX, I cannot confirm whether the crossbar positioning on the rails will allow you for rear hatch clearance. One way that you can confirm this is by placing the crossbars in the maximum front position and measuring the center of the crossbar to the line where the hatch and roof meet. If that length is equal to or greater than 47-1/2 inches, then you will be able to open the rear hatch with the Thule Motion XT L. If it is less than 47-1/2 inches, it will not allow for the hatch to open.
Fortunately, Thule does make an aero-style crossbar system that fits your flush rails. For a full setup, you will need the following parts:
- Thule WingBar Evo Crossbars - Aluminum - Silver - 53" Long - Qty 2 # TH711400
- Rapid Podium Feet for Thule Crossbars - Fixed Point - Qty 4 # TH460R
- Fit Kit for Thule Podium-Style Roof Rack Feet - 3132 # THKIT3132
