Exactly what I needed. Delivery was sooner then expected. Great email communication on the order status. Very pleased!! Thank you!



by:

What a good experience. Easy to find the right product and compare. Able to view it. ordering was easy and it arrived faster than my amazon purchase made the same day. Got email confirmation too.



by:

This company has it going. The communication and professionalism is unheard of in todays market places. The item was cheaper than I could get it from Thule. Just as described and shipped fast. A++ group.



by:

Cheaper then getting it from Thule. Good set of replaacement parts for my old evolution



by:

I got exactly what I needed and it was delivered by etrailer faster that i could have expected! thank you!



by:

The service was unbelievable! I was kept up to date constantly with my order. Service is where it's at and etrailer.com has it.



by:

This replacement mounting hardware kit was shipped very promptly, the communication from etrailer was great, and felt this was a great value.



by:

I have yet to put the mount hardware to the test on our Honda Odyssey, but the kit came in perfect condition, and in record time. The customer service rep with whom I spoke to confirm that the item was what I needed was extremely helpful. I did decide to upgrade to the 3 day shipping, but should have taken the advise of the rep, and not worried. It arrived in less. Excellent service! Will definitely use etrailer.com again.



by:

The staff was so helpful in finding the right part & even sent an installation diagram to assure me it was the right part! I will definitely be visiting etrailer.com again! Thank you for your EXCELLENT customer service and FAST shipping!



by:

Thule has definitely improved their hardware from the older design that I had. The swing bar attachments are anodized steel -- not plastic like the old ones -- and the carriage bolts are galvanized so they should be pretty rust resistant. Also, the thumb nuts are rounded and easier to turn. Overall, I'm very pleased both with the product and with E-trailer's prompt service. Thanks!



by:

Received my Thule 45058 and QM3 Quick on/off Mounting hardware a few days after I ordered it. Etrailer.com service was awesome - told me when order was ready to ship, when it shipped sent tracking info and today confirmed the delivery - I was a first time customer - will highly recommend to my friends and will be back if in need of the products they sell.

Great job - in a day and age where service is typically non existent - you really stand out as a model for others to follow.



by:

Awesome Customer ServiceI ordered a hardware kit for my Thule Adventurer from Etrailer. They sent me an email saying it will ship in 7 days. I replied and asked will it ship or will I have it in 7 days, as I was under the gun. We were scheduled to travel two weeks later.
They emailed me back assuring me I would have it sooner. I received the package four days later. You guys rule. I'll definitely shop here again.



by:

I needed to retro fit an old Thule box onto my new Honda cross-bars. I didn't know what product to get, so emailed eTrailer and a rep got back to me very quickly with a recommendation for this kit. I ordered, they shipped it right away, I put it on and it worked perfectly!



by:

I was surprised by the weight of this parts package. Based on the feel of the weight, this should be very durable. I bought a used Thule Adventurer on ebay and the original mounting hardware lasted 10 yrs(?) going to the salty beach! And I could have kept using it, but I was nervous about some minor cracks and rusting.

Kudos to Etrailer for fast shipping and a followup email to check that I did get my package.

I haven’t installed the parts yet but they match exactly The parts from my original rooftop carrier. Everything looks great can’t wait to try it out this spring

I now have the cargo box installed on my toy hauler trailer. I had to manipulate the existing roof rack, but the replacement parts were an exact fit from the original very smooth. Everything is in place and working great fantastic replacement kit. The old parts were definitely unusable. I would highly recommend this replacement kit.

@Kenneth Sweet! What Toy Hauler do you have? Take it on any trips yet or waiting until the weather warms up?


by:

I'm very happy with the items that I bought through Etrailer. I've done business with them for several years and would recommend them to anyone needing supplies. The most recently purchase was ski box parts to replace parts from an old box. Everything fit as described and their pricing is great.

Thanks

Still working great!

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.

I 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.



by:

Excellent service and fast shipping. Will definitely not hesitate to do business with eTrailer in the future.



by:

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.

  • Replacement Hardware Options for a Thule Cascade Cargo Box
    The u-bolt that you are looking for is no-longer available. We have two different options depending on what mounting hardware your Cascade has. The Replacement EasySnap Mounting Hardware # 05704 if your box has the quick snap hardware or the Replacement QM3 - Quick Mount Hardware # TH04997 if it is not the quick snap. The non-quick snap would be for an older cascade cargo box.

  • Will Thule Weekender Cargo Box Fit on 2014 Dodge Grand Caravan
    Hey Sonya, does the 2014 Dodge Grand Caravan have a roof rack installed on it? One would be required for the Weekender to fit and oddly enough we don't have any roof rack options that fit the Grand Caravan.

  • Replacement Mounting Hardware for Older Thule Summit Roof Cargo Box
    Hey Mike, thanks for reaching out! If you know what size U-Bolt will fit, then you can definitely just purchase a single U-Bolt to substitute for what you have. From what I'm seeing, the Replacement QM3 - Quick Mount Hardware # TH04997 will work just fine if you're wanting to replace multiple pieces of your mounting hardware.

  • Can U-Bolt Be Replaced on Thule Cascade XT Roof Cargo Box
    Hey Alyssa, thanks for reaching out! The correct part number you're looking for is 43215, but Thule discontinued this a while back so you're going to have a hard time finding this for your Cascade XT roof cargo box. If you aren't able to find one with similar specs at your local hardware or home improvement store then the only other solution is to swap out your mounting hardware with the Replacement QM3 - Quick Mount Hardware # TH04997. I know this isn't the most ideal solution, but it's...

  • Recommended Roof Rack for 2018 Toyota 4 Runner and Mounting Hardware for Thule Summit 631 Cargo Box
    As long as you have the hardware for your Thule Summit 631 cargo box, you will just need the crossbars you mentioned. If you don't have the mounting hardware then you will also need the mounting hardware # TH04997. Then for your crossbars, I recommend the Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars - Aluminum - Black - 49" Long # RRVA126B-2 and the SX Series Legs for Raised Factory Side Rails # RRSX100. This combination will work well for you and support your cargo box.

  • Replacement Hardware for Thule Mountaineer 669
    I believe there were some changes in the Thule Mountaineer designation as the model continued to be released. The Thule Mountaineer TT or 669TT manufactured from 2005-2008 is the only version of the mountaineer to use the # TH04997. Technically this is a variation of the original hardware but it is the current replacement. According to Thule, the 669 that was manufactured from 1999-2004 along with the 669ES which ran from 2007-2012 both use the EasySnap. This means you can use the Replacement...

  • Can Quick Mounting Hardware be Installed on Older Thule Mountaineer Cargo Box
    Quick Grip Cradles # TH8523387001 can be installed along with the Quick Grip Mount Assembly # TH05738 on your older Thule Mountaineer Cargo Box, however you will need to make some modifications to the box. Please keep in mind that any modifications to the cargo box can potentially compromise its integrity and will also void the product's warranty. If you happen to need the replacement mounting hardware for your Mountaineer, you will use # TH04997.

  • Replacement Mounting Hardware for a Thule Evolution Cargo Box
    If your Evolution cargo box is the type that has a slot the feet slide in then you can use the EasySnap u-bolt replacement, # 43216. There isn't another option for that fit and that entire assembly has been discontinued. If you have an older cargo box prior to the EasySnap, then you would use # TH04997 for your hardware.

  • Replacement Mounting Hardware Options for Older Yakima SpaceCase Cargo Box
    The correct replacement mounting hardware available for the Yakima SpaceCase Cargo Box is the Replacement Mounting Hardware part # 8870098. The Replacement Quick-Dial Mounting Assembly part # Y8870097 will not work as it requires a rather unique channel which would be very hard to replicate when retrofitting. If you are looking for an easier to use option, the Replacement QM3 Hardware part # TH04997 are much more universal and will work well with the Yakima SpaceCase Cargo Box but drilling...

  • Replacement Mounting Hardware for Thule Cascade XT
    The original mounting hardware for the Thule Cascade XT is no longer available. A good alternative is the Thule Replacement Quick Mount Hardware # TH04997. This fits crossbars up to 1-9/16 tall x 3-3/4-inches wide. If you end up needing to drill new holes in the box any extra holes can be sealed up using silicone sealant # LT37467. Also, if you need extra height while using your box and installing hardware, I use the Rightline Gear Moki Door Step # RL100660.

    The QM3 Quick Mount Hardware, # TH04997, that you referenced is the correct mounting hardware for the Thule Adventurer cargo box. You should have no problem mounting the Adventurer cargo box to your 2001 Chevrolet Tahoe, assuming it has a roof rack. The QM3 hardware can fit crossbars up to 3-5/8 inches wide, which fits the GM factory crossbars. If your Tahoe does not have a roof rack with crossbars, then you could use the Thule WingBar roof rack to mount the box to. The bars connect to...

    Modifying your Thule Cascade box is not something that is recommended because it effects the structural integrity of the box, so the # TH05738 really isn't something that we recommend using to replace the mounting hardware on your box. If you're just in need of replacement mounting hardware for your Cascade box, the Replacement QM3 - Quick Mount Hardware # TH04997 will work for you and allow you to fit the same crossbars as the Quick Grip mounts.
