Replacement M6 x 75 mm carriage bolt for Thule roof boxes.Exactly what I needed! Both carriage bolt size options that were included in my Thule 835XT Hull-A-Port Rooftop Kayak J racks were not long enough to fit on my Thule WingBar Evo Crossbars. These longer bolts gave me enough clearance to safely fit them on my system. Perfect. Thanks for the quick shipping.
They are still working great. They do have some surface rust on them as they stay on my truck year round in the PNW (it tends to rain a little bit here) but it in no way affects them. I used these to mount some used Thule Dock Glide kayak saddles to my Thule Xsporter Pro truck rack. I needed longer bolts for the cross bars of the Xsporter and these are just about perfect length-wise.
These are exactly what I was after. They’re longer than the bolts that came with my Thule JRACK. My Mazda roof racks have a thicker post than most, so many attachments don’t fit them. These will solve that problem.
The key was fine 5 stars. Three attempts at sending the proper length bolt failed 1 star. Needed a special 75mm Thule bolt. Received 55mm bolts labeled as 75mm. The bolts I received were obviously mislabeled somewhere. Despite multiple emails, I could never get that mistake understood by people at etrailer.
I used this to replace my kuat kayak racks. Fits perfectly.
I looked for longer M6 x 75mm carriage bolts so I could use existing kayak cradles on the larger bars of my new Thule Xsporter Pro Rack. Local hardware retailers didn't have what I needed and neither did other online hardware suppliers. I was thrilled to find what I was looking for at etrailer.com. Pricing was great, delivery was prompt and follow-up customer service excellent. Now my new truck and rack are fully outfitted and ready to go. Thanks etrailer.com!
We received too short bolts last week.
We called and were treated very well.
New bolts were rushed shipped to us at no additional cost.
The new order came yesterday AND THEY WERE EXACTLY THE SAME TOO SHORT LENGTH.
Package in both cases ssy the bolts are 75mm but in fact they measure 55mm

My apology as the bolts were mislabeled from Thule this time. We have taken them out of stock and are working on receiving the correct bolts in. Customer Service will be in touch with you.
I have a Nissan Xterra and the crossbars are quite thick. The longest bolts that came with my Thule kayak rack still were not long enough. These 3” bolts fit perfectly, plus they arrived a day earlier than predicted!
All work as expected. They were necessary because of rusting in the originals. Happy with my purchase
The bolts are just what I needed.
I purchased these carriage bolts to attach my existing kayak carrier to my new Thule Aeroblades. The original bolts were too short for the new system. These bolts worked perfectly.

These bolts fixed my problem and have held up with no problems.
I bought 8 carriage bolts to fit a Thule Kayak stacker on Yakima HD cross bars. The bolts arrived exactly in the time frame given and even though this was a small order, I received top notch service from my order to delivery. I was very impressed with the personalized attention I received and really liked how the tracking included who packed my order and who shipped it! I will use this company for any future purchases and highly recommend them!
The carriage bolt was shipped quickly and the product was proper length and thread as described though the shoulder, the square part under the head, was undersized as compared to the Thule original. This causes it to slip as it is tightened in the roof carrier supports.

Thanks for reaching out. In terms of follow-up, the bolt still works ok, but the issue I mentioned in my review still remains. The square part under the flange is not the same size as the Thule original hardware. This still results in slipping as it is tightened.
The bolts worked great - and Thule has cornered the market by manufacturer in them in such a way that you cannot buy the exact bolt at a hardware store - thus the exorbitant price! But kudos to etrailer for having them in stock and delivering them expeditiously.
So easy to navigate the system and get the appropriate size. I spent hours in a hardware store and to no avail. Thanks etrailer my new odd sized kayak racks love you!
This bolt fit into my Thule kayak stacker, and had the needed longer bolt size. The Thule website did not offer any help to fit my need.
Just what was needed…thank you!
It is a perfect replacement for needing extended length bolts to fit Thule Kayak racks over newer roof rack bars. I originally had a 2003 VW Golf with OEM roof rack. Now I have a 2010 VW Golf that must have taller bars because when I went to put Kayak holders on it would not fit with longest bolts it came with. These bolts from etrailer fit perfect like original and can still use the original 3 wing knobs (nuts) with the bolt.
My Thule Rooftop Cargo Box is 15+ years old and the carriage bolts had rusted so bad I used a bolt cutter to remove them. I searched local hardware stores and the big box retailers (HD & L) but no one had the pieces I needed to replace them. I resigned myself to adapting the attachments and rigging up something that would work.
On a whim, I searched for Thule Replacement parts on the web (I know, I should have done that first) and eTrailer came up with exactly what I needed!
Within a few days I had the parts in hand and the Cargo Box is good as new! I'll be coming back when it comes time order a hitch...eTrailer is a great find!
I ordered this as a replacement for my Thule Adventurer but it is a little small compared to the bolts that came with the carrier. They worked though.

They did the job. I took the Adventurer on a long trip with no worries.
I ordered these bolts as longer replacements for the stock ones that came with my rooftop box. They worked as expected and I'm now using the box on my forth vehicle since I purchased it. Apparently it lasts longer than the cars.
More importantly to me though, is the service from etrailer. Stellar! I received my items quickly and within time to make a trip we had planned. Thank you!
My Chevy removable roof rails (thicker than standard roof rails) required a longer carriage bolt for the Thule J-Racks I had for my kayaks.. Thule had 50 and 65mm length bolts but I had to search online for longer (I was able to use the hand tightening nuts that came with the racks, which is why I stuck with the 6mm diameter bolt).. was psyched when they arrived promptly using standard shipping and was finally able to haul my kayaks down to the bay to spend an afternoon with my teenaged son on the water.. Thanks guys..
I made a mistake with my order and cancelling it and placing a new order was simple. Shipping was super quick. Thanks etrailer! What can I say about carriage bolts?! They're a good replacement for the ones we were missing.
The bolts were exactly as described and what I needed to modify my Thule bike racks to accommodate the roof racks of my new car. The only negative—not eTrailer’s fault—was that the post office lost the package for 3 days.
Great service! The 75mm carriage bolts let me use my Thule kayak carrier on the roof rack I have on my car. The shorter bolts that come with the kayak carrier are just a little too short for the “fat” crossbars on my roof rack, so the 75mm bolts were just what I needed.

I am sorry that we were not able to ship the correct bolt to you. I checked into it and the bolts we had in stock were mislabeled from Thule. We have removed the incorrect bolts from stock and are working to receive in the correct 75 mm long carriage bolt.
