Would you be able to send me some photos of your roof box and the area where the mounting hardware is installed? If you have a newer Thule/MB cargo box then the Replacement Quick Grip Mount Assembly # TH05738 should work but if I could see some photos I would be able to confirm.

Thank you for the photos! From what I'm seeing it does look like the Quick Grip Assembly # TH05738 will work when paired with the Slide Strip # TH05401 and the AcuTight Cradle # TH8523387001. The Slide Strip will be placed over the opening slits in your cargo box and then you'll drop the Quick Grip claws down through the inside of the box and secure it using the AcuTight Cradle from underneath the box.
