Video Transcript for The Low-Down on the Replacement Lid Lifter Hinge for Thule Cargo Boxes

Today we're going to review part number TH14936. This is the replacement dual force strut hinge. This part will fit the Thule Evolution cargo box and the Thule Atlantis cargo box. This is a hinge that's attached to the cargo box, and the way it attaches is on the cargo box, on the bottom of the cargo box there will be a ball socket. This will snap onto the ball socket at the bottom and on the top lid of the cargo box will be another ball socket. This top part of hinge will snap onto that.

It is used when you open your cargo box. This is spring loaded so it will open. It has spring tension onto it. That should do it for part number H14936.

Easy to install on Thule Sonic XXL. Used a YouTube video to figure out how. It it’s a ball socket. So just rip the old one off and pop in the new one. I used a wood clamp for leverage to pop it on because my hands were a little weak. You also need something to help prop open the carrier while doing it. A booster seat was what I had and worked…. Because my child was unhelpful.

UPS Shipping was as indicated on etrailer website.

I'm glad you got it installed and working, Allie! Even with your less than helpful helper. : P What are you using this to carry? And what are you mounting it on?

by:
Arrived on time. Super easy to snap in place. My Thule carrier back to the way it was when we bought it!
by:
Installing sound so easy but I found it difficult. Finally got both end installed. I would have liked a video of a novice installing one of these hinge.
by:
I wish they came with instructions. I put them on backwards first off.
by:
Worked perfectly. Doesn’t come with instructions but I had already watched YouTube videos as I first bought the wrong ones Amazon says will fit.
by:
Perfect fit. Easy installation.
by:
The part worked as advertised and was easy to install on our Atlantis Thule cover. It shipped the same day as ordered and arrived a day earlier than anticipated, a bonus allowing us to repair our Thule for our next trip.
by:
This was exactly the part I needed. I would suggest you provide better descriptions on how this is installed at the user end. Nuts have to be pried out of the original part and put into the new part. Or you could include the fittings with the new piece as well.
by:
Excellent service from Ashley over the phone. She walked me through the identifucatiln if my Thule box, and sugestions for getting my key unstuck. The part arrived quicker than predicted. The hardest part of replacunv this part is getting thd old btoken one off.
by:
5 Stars to etrailer. These fit a THULE SUMMIT 631 Box.
I finally got around to installing these new strut hinges on my THULE SUMMIT 631 Box.

The struts arrived within a few days to my drop off location in Lewiston NY and I came across the border from Canada to pick them up. I could NOT find any replacements anywhere in Canada.
One of the originals cracked after 20plus years. The replacement hinges are slightly longer than the original (see picture. New on left, old on right), but work just fine. They look like they are a lot more robust design than the original.

One thing to note is that the originals do not have the the little spigot shaft containing the ball socket, whereas the new ones have that little shaft containing the socket (which you can see in the picture). I was concerned about this being an issue for installation as a direct replacement. However, this means the thick part of the hinge is lower on the right side and the thick part is on the top side when installing on the left side of the box. It has no impact on the functionality or the installation.

To remove the old struts, I just used a nail pry bar (supported by a thin piece of wood) to pop off the old struts. To install the new struts, I used a bar clamp (supported by a thicker piece of wood to distribute the force on the ball side). See Pics.

Just a tip to fill the sockets with a bit of white lithium grease before installation, and make sure the central of the street pivot is always pointing forward, towards to open side of the box. I made the mistake of having the centre point point to the back (hinge side) and they kept popping off the balls, so I had to reverse them.

Anyway, all is good and I'm happy to have my box back in action.
etrailer did an excellent job following up on the delivery. I wish they were in Canada. Highly recommended.

The part came just as promised and worked great. The correspondence was great and kept me informed throughout the process. Would definitely recommend this company when ordering parts
by:
Lid lifter works like a charm. Would’ve been 5 stars but t didn’t come with a set of ball sockets. This is an older cargo box so happy I saved the broken lifter and used the old ball sockets.
by:
A couple of years ago someone gave me their older Thule Evolution (I think) ski box. It fits the factory bars on my 2005 Ford Explorer, although it slides around just a bit, which I've reduced with some bungee cords.

This winter, one of the hinges popped off the socket and was obviously too worn to stay on. I limped through the winter with one hinge because I wasn't sure what box I had and, therefore, which hinge to replace it with. A query on the etrailer.com website got me a simple answer (if it has a white piece in the middle, order this one [TH14936] for a long box - if not, order TH14933 for a short box).

The part came quickly and I watched the installation videos. However, I didn't quite have the right tool (tongue and groove plier), I borrowed a screw clamp from a neighbor (below). This, along with a block of wood to protect the outside of the box, was the perfect tool to get the socket of the hinge over the ball joint. I also used a hair dryer to heat the plastic up a bit, but I'm not sure how much that helped.

Nothing but great things to say about etrailer.com's help determining the right product, their prices, or the speed of their inexpensive shipping. Thanks!

Perfect replacement
by:
I have an Thule Atlantas 1800XT roof box. Recently one of the hinges broke. I found the price for replacement parts at Etrailer to be the best on the web. I ordered my product on Monday morning and had the part in my hand by Wednesday mid day.

One suggestion I have for installing the part. The etrailer site does have a video on easiest way to install. My box is slightly different and unless you have a pair of channel locks with an 8" reach then that wont work. Using brute force didn't work for me, neither did tapping it with a hammer. I grabbed my wife's blow dryer and set it to hot, I blew hot air on the plastic 'female' end of the part for about 3 minutes. After that it very easily snapped in.

Just as an FYI the spring in the replacement part is way stronger that what was originally in my box. Fortunately I had ordered 2. If your box is more than a few years old and you need to replace one hinge... go ahead and replace them both at the same time.

Perfect replacement. Perfect fit.

Took the old one off, put the new one on, took all of 5’. Called the people it was ready, they came and picked it up no problems.
by:
Hinge is standard Thule replacement part. Usually these types of items are bagged in a plastic bag. But the item was covered by a UPS sticker. So there’s adhesive paper on the product. Very annoying to remove.

Luckily it goes inside the box, so I won’t see it. But it’s a mood killer.

It fit great and worked fine. I followed other people's advice to get it on. I agree. You should make a video on how to do it. I found WD-40 and a clamp worked well.

We received the hinges quickly, they were exactly as advertised, fit onto our roof box easily, and have worked perfectly ever since.

  • Replacement Lid Lifter Hinge For A Thule Force XT XXL Cargo Box
    Hey Geoff, I spoke with Thule and they stated that the correct replacement lid lifter hinge for your Thule Force XT XXL cargo box would be part # TH93VA.

  • Recommended Replacement Lid Lifter for a Thule Motion XT XXL
    Hey Jiorel, the Replacement Lid Lifter Hinge for Thule Cargo Boxes # TH14936 is not a fit for the Thule Motion XT XXL, unfortunately, but the Replacement Lid Lifter Hinge for Thule Force XT XL and XXL Rooftop Cargo Boxes # TH93VA is according to Thule. If you have any other questions, or need help finding something please feel free to drop a comment and let me know.

  • Replacement Hinge for a Sears X-Cargo Sport 20 Cargo Box
    I spoke with my contact at Thule and was informed that for the Sears branded Sport 20-SV cargo box you would need to use hinge # TH14936. My contact also stated that both hinges should be changed at the same time for best performance. I have linked a video review of the hinge for you. But we have recently been told that on that particular box you should use # TH14933 which has a spring with less tension making the box easier to close. Otherwise both hinges are the exact same size and shape.

  • Replacement Hinges for Thule Adventurer Cargo Box have Different Tension
    The original hinges or struts are no longer available for the Thule Adventurer cargo boxes but the current ones, # TH14936, will fit and are what you should be using. There isn't a right and left and the orientation should not matter. It sounds like you might have one # TH14936 and one # TH14933. They are identical on the outside but the TH14936 will have more tension (a heavier internal spring) than the TH14933. You can identify each one when the struts are open. In the lighter one,...

  • How to Install Replacement Hinge or Strut on Thule Rooftop Cargo Box
    Installing a replacement hinge or strut on your Thule rooftop cargo box isn't complicated, but it does take some force. I have added a link to a video showing how to do this, and you can forward to about the 1:30 part to get to the nitty gritty. In our video, our installer uses a clamp (like in the accompanying photo) to make it easier. The correct replacement hinge or strut is going to depend on the exact Thule cargo box you have; there are two replacements, and the exact Thule rooftop...

You will need to drill some new holes in the cargo box but the QM3 includes stick on hole covers for the old holes. The correct Replacement Lid Lifter Hinge is # TH14936.

  • Replacement Hinge for a Subaru Branded Cargo Box
    I believe that the Subaru cargo box that you have is a Thule Evolution in disguise. If it is the longer version (18 cubic foot model) then the correct replacement hinge is # TH14936. If it is a 16 cubic foot model you can still use this hinge.

  • Replacement Hinge for Sears X Cargo XL Roof Box
    Hey Jon, sorry to hear about your roof box! We recently lost one of ours here to a garage as well. I'm not entirely sure which hinges you have in yours but the two most common for the older Sears are the Replacement Lid Lifter Hinge for Thule Cargo Boxes # TH14936 and Replacement Spring Hinge for SportRack Explorer or SkyLine Cargo Box # SR03810. If neither of these match feel free to send me some pictures and I'll see what else is available.

  • Replacement Hinge for a Thule Atlantis 2100 Rooftop Cargo Box
    Thule has rolled out a universal solution for its older and newer boxes. To replace your hinge, you'll need part # TH14936 which will work for both the front and rear hinges. I've included a video of the hinge replacement process so you can get an idea of how the process should work.

  • Installation of Thule Replacement Hinge # TH14936 on a Thule Ascent Cargo Box
    The Thule Replacement Hinge, part # TH14936 is attached to the cargo box by snapping the round hole on the end of each hinge onto the ball sockets on the mounting brackets. I went out in our warehouse and opened a Thule cargo box and snapped the hinge off of the ball socket and back on and it did take some pressure to get it to snap off and on to the ball. To get it to go back on to the ball you might even need to tap it on with a hammer. I am including a link to a video review of the...

  • Replacement Hinge Recommendation for Thule Atlantis 1600XT Cargo Box
    The replacement hinge for you Thule Atlantis 1600XT cargo carrier is part # TH14936. The Thule hinge is sold in quantities of one. Since you are replacing one broken hinge, I recommend replacing both at the same time. Replacing all the hinges will guarantee that your Thule carrier will be in good working order and ready to go when you get the need to travel.

  • Solution for Replacement Hinge for Karrite Scorpio Roof Box
    Hi Pablo; I'm sorry to say there are no equivalent roof boxes that have that same hinge. Since it is older and discontinued replacement parts are no longer around. The best thing I can offer is a hinge like the # TH14936 or # SR03810. However, it would be up to you to make it work with your existing roof box. I attached a link below to all of our roof box hinges for your reference. Feel free to see if another option looks like it would be a better fit.

    Hey Daniel, thanks for the picture! I checked with Thule, and it looks like what you're looking for is the Replacement Quick On/Off Bracket for Thule Time Travel Series Cargo Boxes # TH04973 which may not look the same but will still work fine as a replacement. The original that came with the Summit has been discontinued and was replaced with this one, which is why it's not identical. If there is anything else I can do for you, please feel free to drop a comment and let me know!
