Will 2013 Toyota RAV4 Antenna Interfere with the Thule Force XT Cargo Box
Question:
Will the radio antenna get in the way?
asked by: Michael D
Expert Reply:
Whether or not the antenna on the 2013 Toyota RAV4 will interfere with a cargo box or not depends on several factors. First, if the antenna does not stick up higher than the top of the crossbars then it will not interfere. If the box is not long enough to reach the antenna it will not interfere. If the antenna is flexible then it also should not be an issue.
Based on the length of the Force XT cargo box, # TH6358B, at 82-3/4 inches and its ability to be more forward or backward on the crossbars it does not appear to be an issue. Thule does list this box as a fit for the factory crossbars on a 2013 RAV4.
If you measure from the center of the front crossbar and it's more than 51-1/8 inches then the Force XT will not reach the antenna. When you measure, make sure the front crossbar is as far forward as it can go if the bars are adjustable.
