Replacement U-Bolt for Thule Sidekick Cargo Box

Exactly the part I needed. Original equipment quality. Mike S was my service rep and he was great. Got the u-bolt out to me, and I got it just a couple days later. 207436

Great!!!

Needed to replace several u-bolts for a used cargo box I recently purchased. I looked in several hardware and auto parts stores but couldn't find them until I searched online. These are exactly the size I needed and the order was filled quickly. Price is very fair! 412150

I looked all over to find replacement parts for an older, but still useful X-Cargo clam-shell roof top carrier. Places like another online retailer had the part, but at an extremely high cost. I will come back to etrailer over and over based on ease of use and price! 545395

I bought this along with "Replacement 3-Wing, Low M6 Hand Knob for Thule Roof Mounted Kayak Carriers - 753-0783" for my Mondial Car-Go 320. I simply had to drill new holes at 4" apart and now I will be able to install and remove the carrier with much more ease than the nuts and bolts I had to use before. Just had to do a little research on the sizing to make sure I go the correct parts. This should work great! 12990

Part will work. Price is right. Wish it would have a coating on it though. 575020

The product I received was exactly what I needed and was as described. These u-bolts work much better than the slotted plate and carriage bolts that I was using. The u-bolts shipped quickly and I received them in a timely manner. Thanks E-Trailer 20078

I received this promptly and it was the perfect fit. Grateful to find a source for this product, and so cheap! I had been missing my fourth bracket for a year, and just zip tying the fourth corner of the cargo carrier to the luggage rack. NEedless to say, that was getting old. Note that while this was said to be for a Thule carrier, I actually am using it on a cargo carrier I got at Sears about 6 years ago, called the X-Cargo Sport 20.

This wing nut wing-nuts like no other wing nut in the history of wing nuts and these u-bolts are bent into perfect "u" shapes. Seriously though, etrailer.com is the only place on the web who had these. The price was totally fair, shipping was immediate and the product is exact what I expected. You guys have earned a customer. Thank you for bailing me out in such short notice and following through with what was promised. 81842

Bought U-bolts to mount an early Thule Adventurer Box to the stock aerobars of a 2005 Subaru Forester. The fit worked just fine. The knobs are M6 1.0 pitch, identical to the original Thule knobs. Shipping was prompt. I would recommend Etrailer to anyone. Anything but [that other online retailer]. 490404

These U-bolts are replacing the obnoxious mounting system that was provided with a model year 2015, X-Cargo Extreme, rooftop carrier. I was slightly concerned with the inside stud spacing of this item, however it worked perfect. The hole spacing on the plastic carrier, exterior bottom support steel plate, and interior steel hold-down plate, are all of a slightly larger diameter, allowing this item to slide in. The minimal resistance provided by the bolt rubbing the insides of the hardware, is just enough to keep the u-bolt in place while you tighten down the spinners inside the carrier. These bolts are being used on a 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee, fitted with Mopar's factory style, airplane wing shaped, cross bars. ( They're relatively thin, as a thicker dimension bar might run out of stud length on the U-bolt uprights. ) etrailer should be commended for providing their customers a cost effective route, for simplified mounting. 420743

An update on the etrailer u-bolts, for my x-cargo Thule style rooftop carrier. I have now used these replacement u-bolts multiple times, covering many thousands of miles. Theyre still working great! There are no issues with wear to the carrier or the Mopar aluminum cross bars, nor issues from rust or corrosion. They have been used on the beach in the ocean air, to the freezing North-East salt sprayed winter roads. Note: I did rub candle wax on the threaded studs to avoid freezing, in the cold My garage door height will not accommodate my vehicle with the rooftop mounted carrier, resulting in the carrier being taken on and off, quite a bit. That being noted, the threads on the u-bolt studs have held up well, with no cross threading or stripped areas. I would not hesitate to recommend this part to replace X-cargos terribly designed stock mounting system or another wide u-bolt design that has become damaged. Super cost effective alternative to other mounting systems!

Exact replacement for the mounting bracket I needed for my Sears XL Cargo rooftop carrier. The measurements provided on the Q&A section about the bracket were exactly correct and dispelled any concerns I had. 715531

Bought the hardware to attach my car roof top carrier from these folks. Very nice people to deal with and, most importantly, the hardware worked on the 3000 mile cross-country trip. 699085

same as original. perfect 697201

I received a damaged envelope type package that only had three of the U bolts, the fourth must have slipped out somewhere on the way. I emailed etrailer on a Sunday and received a same day promise to ship out the missing U bolt. It arrived in a box instead of an envelope like the first shipment. It was stuffed with packaging and the box was taped up very well. They obviously wanted to make sure the bolt wasn’t lost in the mail again and I appreciate it. I’m very happy with the customer service and will order from them again. 691976

Products for a 15 year old cargo box all arrived timely and at an excellent price. Very pleased. 673225

Parts fit like original equipment. Prices are better than those from Sears Direct. Sales staff double checked and offered to refund and or replace parts if necessary. I would use etrailer for any other replacement parts for my Sears Cargo 20 car carrier. Also bought the wing nuts for the car carrier with same results. 590202
