Question:
What options do you carry for locking my thule rooftop tent to my rack?

Expert Reply:
I checked in the instructions for the Thule Tepui Rooftop Tent # TH8001KSK05 and while there isn't a way to lock it right from Thule, I do have a possible solution although it isn't perfect.
When you install the mounting hardware into the tracks on the underside rails you'll insert 10mm Nylock nuts into that inner slot and then use those to install the 10mm recessed bolts. You'll reach under the mattress to tighten everything up.
If you can find some 10mm Nylock nuts that fit into that slot and then use a 10mm bolt with an eye on one end you'll be able to thread a cable lock, like the etrailer # e98891, through the eye and then around your roof rack system (that hopefully has locks on it). Aside from that I'm not seeing any other way to use a cable lock or any other type of lock for your application.
