Today we're going to be taking a look at part #TH04997. This is the replacement QM3 quick mount hardware. This kit's going to replace your lost or damaged nylon hardware for the Thule Adventurer, Cascade, Excursion, Frontier or Mountaineer roof-rack cargo box. Just keep in mind that this will not fit the ES models. It's going to include complete set of mounting hardware for 1 cargo box. You're going to get the complete set for four feet. It's going to contain four sets of Quick-Mount brackets.
You see everything that you're going to get. You're going to get these foam pads. These are going to have an adhesive backing. It's designed to be put onto the mounting plates, that way it doesn't cause any type of damage to your crossbars. You're going to get all the hardware too. You're going to get 8 standard length bolts for normal size crossbars.
These are going to measure 3 inches long, just the threaded portions are going to measure 2 3/4". You're going to get all your lock washers. You're going to get the hand knobs, your going to get the round stickers. These are designed to cover up any exposed holes in the bottom of the box. It's going to help keep out moisture, dirt, debris, any type of grime.
You're also going to get a couple tie-down straps, that way you can secure your gear inside your box. It's a really simple installation, really simple operation. These right here are going to be place inside the box. They're going to have the tie-down loops on it. You can run your straps through there, secure your gear in place. Four of those, 1 for each foot location.
Then you're going to have your large brackets. Your large brackets are going to go on the bottom of the box, in between the bottom of the box and the top of the crossbar. One of the pads would be installed on there, just to give a little bit of cushion as you tighten it down, making sure it doesn't do any damage to your roof rack system. That's what those 4 brackets are for. These right here are going to be the brackets that go on the bottom of the crossbar. Your bolts are going to come up through there. They're going to run through the inside of the box. That's when you would tighten down the hand knob. The smaller pad's going to go on that top portion there. That's going to make contact with the bottom of your load bar of your roof rack system. Again, the foam pads are included that have the adhesive backing. That's just to protect the finish of your roof rack system's crossbars. Again, this is a full kit. It's going to work as a full replacement for all 4 feet on your cargo boxes. Again this is going to fit Thule Adventurer, the Thule Cascade, Excursion, Frontier or Mountaineer roof-rack cargo box. That's going to do it for our review of part #TH04997. .

Replaces lost or damaged mounting hardware for Thule Adventurer, Cascade, Excursion, Frontier, or Mountaineer roof-rack cargo boxes. Will not fit ES models.I'm pleased with this purchase, the replacement brackets work as intended. Allowing me to mount my Thule Adventurer 650 Cargo Box to the stock roof rack on my 2000 Forester. With that said its worth mentioning that I did have to drill new holes in my cargo box. This was due to the internal parts of the mounts hardware (plastic brackets shown) being physically wider then the old metal plates. Not a major issue assuming you have a drill handy... If you don't, keep in mind you may need one. 96479
In 2001 I bought a Thule Frontier cargo box and I have been using it ever since. The box has given great service over hundreds of thousands of miles, but I recently bought a 2015 Chevy Equinox and needed to adapt the old box to the more modern roof rails of my car, using my 2009 era Thule Aero Bars. >With the help of eTrailer's great web site I was able to make sure that the product they offered would fit properly (putting an old box on a newer car is a challenge). I ordered the parts and they arrived promptly. Everything I needed was in the kit. The rusty bolts and deteriorated pads of the old box were easy to replace, and the whole rig is stable and will work fine for years to come. >Thank you, eTrailer!. 573380
one year running works great used it all summer and now back on in the spring . easy to put together and works like a charm thanks 538820
Thule mounting hardware for cargo box - one year out, it still works great. No signs of fatigue, etc. Very happy with this purchase, and the customer service from etrailer.com. 594292

After one year, working great
Julio - 04/14/2015I have a 2003 Acura MDX and a outdated Thule carrier. I found e-trailer on line looking for a solution. My cross bars aren't adjustable or removable. The problem was that my cross bars are too wide to accommodate my Thule Revolution's hardware. I reached out to etrailer and they had the solution. So I was informed the by buying this new hardware from another model of the Thule collection with a 3 1/2 inch with would do the trick. I wa also told that I would have to drill 4 new holes. Just like that and 4 little holes later. I'm ready to clean the clutter and go to the beach with the use of all my seats. Thanks etrailer. I already mad another purchase which I'll be leaving a review. For future potential customers. Customer service was great with fast delivery and nicely priced items. 550076

This worked perfectly for installing my Subaru branded Thule box and shipping was very fast, less than a week. Thanks! 726804

Incredible, quick easy on line ordering and quicker than expected delivery!! Thank you 714554
Great quality, fits perfect. 697903
Product worked great for me. No complaints a year later. helped to extend the life of my carrier. 694934
Worked and looked just like our old one. Hopefully we can make this set last another 5 years like the original ones! 672271
We have an older Thule Frontier box we got from a family member missing some pieces, and this is the right kit for it! The others with the U-bolt would not have fit. We just got back from a road trip where we went camping, and it held up great. The initial fitting takes two people and careful concentration, but after that the fittings stay on the box and it should be really easy to get back on. Love it! For reference, we have a 2002 Toyota Rav4 with a back door that swings out, and a factory rack. 665222
Both items I ordered work perfectly and are helping me extend the life of my Thule box. Prices were very fair and the fact that they had the hinge that Thule didn’t was a real bonus. 658096
This kit makes my Thule cargo box like new again. Thanks eTrailer for great products and service. 656381

Received items that exactly replaced old rusted parts 596903
The product was as described and came in a day early, which was nice because I was under a deadline to get my cargo box mounted for a trip. They worked great. My overall experience with etrailer was amazing and I will be back to buy more from them in the future. 594727
After a year, I can recall the great price, rapid/accurate technical advice and speedy delivery. The adapter kit installed easily. The mounts have been in constant use with my Thule Adventurer Roof Top Cargo Box. I’m researching a trailer hitch currently for a summer road trip. etrailer.com is early favorite based in past performance. 593316
Timely deliver and good quality. 593241
etrailer sent to me the same items I received when I first bought my box from Thule. The process was painless, quick, and inexpensive notwithstanding the fact that I couldn't find these items anywhere else and without them my Thule box was useless. 590209
Bought this kit to replace the rusted hardware from my 25 year old Thule Mountaineer. Now I have an almost back to new Thule box that will likely last another 25 years. Service from etrailer was excellent. My parts were shipped and received within 2 days from ordering and their website is easy to navigate. Highly recommended. 585112

Fast shipping with excellent customer service. This is the second time ordering parts from etrailer.com and once again it was an outstanding experience. Thanks! 552016
Fast delivery, good follow-up from the seller. No directions included in the box, but plenty of resources could be found online. Seems like a secure way to fit my old Thule cargo carrier to a new Thule rack, and it was pretty easy to put it all together. 551802
One year later, this system works perfectly and feels very secure. Glad I found this product.

Perfect replacement parts for my Thule Box, easy to install 456254
I bought a used Thule Adventurer that needed the hardware for installation on my square Thule bars. This is the set you need and it was easy to install. What made it easy was the video that they provide in ‘Product Details’ on their site. I installed this in less than an hour thanks to the video! 454226
Ordered replacement hardware for my Thule rooftop carrier and received the shipment in 3 days. The old hardware was rusty and the padding for the top and bottom plates were deteriorated. It only took approximately 10 min to remove the old hardware and install the new. Now I have a rooftop carrier that is as good as new. Prompt and courteous service with customer service follow up to make sure everything was good. Recommend etrailer.com to anyone. Great company!! 450866
