Will the Thule Large Pulse Cargo Box Fit the Factory Roof Rack on a 2012 Honda Pilot

Question:

I think this should work just fine... but before buying Id like feedback. I own a 2012 Pilot with their cross bars. They have a curve in them unlike the Thule bars which are flat, but looking at the gripping system of the box, essentially clamps that you hand tighten, I dont think this will be a problem, just the box may look like it sits at a slant and items may slide if not tied down. Any other concerns? I think since this box is a little shorter the tailgate should clear. Anyways, appreciate the feedback.

The Thule Pulse cargo box # TH614 will fit your 2012 Honda Pilot with factory crossbars and it will not interfere with the rear hatch when opened. The curve in the bars should not be an issue if you place the box in the center of the bars. Otherwise items could slide to the low end like you said. It would be a good idea to secure anything you do not want to move anyway since even if mounted in the center of the bars items could move when you turn.
