Compatibility of Thule Cargo Boxes with 2005 Acura MDX with Factory Crossbars
Question:
Will the Thule Pulse XL fit my 2005 Acura MDX factory roof rack?
asked by: Robert F
Expert Reply:
According to Thule, the Pulse XL box, part # TH615 will fit the OEM crossbars of your 2005 Acura MDX, but the length of the box will prevent you from fully opening the rear hatch because the hatch will hit the rear of the box. If having the additional cargo space on the roof is more important to you than being able to fully open the rear hatch, the XXL would work just fine for you.
The only Pulse roof box that will allow full hatch clearance would be the Pulse Medium, part # TH614, this box has 14 cubic feet of available storage.
