Ask the Experts about this Thule Roof Box

• What is the Quietest Rooftop Cargo Carrier?
  There are a lot of great options for noise-reducing cargo boxes. The Thule Pulse Medium Rooftop Cargo Box # TH614 is an okay option for achieving less wind noise, but for the quietest cargo box possible, you want to look at our selection of low-profile cargo boxes, which I've linked below. I recommend the Thule Pulse Alpine # TH613 as it has an ultra-low profile and a clean factory look. You will need to check the crossbar spread of your roof rack to determine if any of our cargo boxes...

• Roof Mount Cargo Box Fit 2012 Toyota Highlander
  In order to determine which cargo boxes will allow you to open the rear hatch of your 2012 Toyota Highlander you will want to take a quick measurement on your vehicle. If you can move your factory crossbars, move the front crossbar as far forward as possible. Then, with the hatch closed, you will want to measure from the center of the front crossbar to the seam where the rear hatch meets the roof. This rear hatch clearance is also known as front clearance. I have attached a diagram showing...

• Cargo Box to Clear XM Antenna and Hold Golf Clubs on a 2016 Honda CR-V EX-L with Rola Roof Rack
  Since you have 43 inches from the center of the front bar back to the antenna you can use the Thule Pulse Medium cargo box # TH614. Its clearance measurement is 42-5/8 inches from the center of the front bar back to the nearest obstruction. Internally the box is 63 inches long, 33 inches wide, and 14 inches tall.

• Roof Cargo Box Recommendation for 2017 Ford Escape with Factory Crossbars
  The best solution for a cargo box on your 2017 Ford Escape with factory crossbars is hard to say without more info like how much cargo do you need to carry in it etc. But I can say that the Thule Pulse Medium part # TH614 that you referenced is a great choice confirmed as a fit. We had the chance to install it on a similar 2014 Ford Escape with an aftermarket roof rack and it worked very well. It allowed clearance for the rear hatch to open and didn't interfere with the rear antenna...

• Recommended Cargo Roof Box For 2017 Hyundai Tucson With Roof Antenna
  I called my contact at Thule and they said that the roof boxes up to 17-cu ft will work on your 2017 Tucson and will not interfere with the antenna on your roof. Many of the roof boxes allow you to shift them forward a bit and that can help as well. For a smaller roof box you can check out the Thule Pulse part # TH614. This is a 13-cu ft box that measures 73-inches long x 34-1/2-inches wide x 16-inches tall. It requires a crossbar spread of 23-5/8 inches to 35-1/2 inches so you do have...

• Recommended Thule Cargo Box for 2014 Chevrolet Sonic Hatchback
  The best Thule cargo box for a 2014 Chevrolet Sonic Hatchback will be the Thule Pulse Rooftop Cargo Box part # TH614 as this will provide the most amount of cargo space while still allowing for full access to the hatch and without too much overhang. I have attached a review video of this fit as well. If you don't already have a roof rack, the Rhino-Rack ROC25 Roof Rack part # RR32QR would be a great option. The Thule Motion XT Rooftop Cargo Box part # TH629807 will likely be a bit too large.

• How to Determine if Thule Sonic Large Rooftop Cargo Box Will Clear Rear Hatch Open
  Here's how you will figure out if the Thule Cargo Box part # TH614 will interfere with the rear hatch of your vehicle. You will need to slide your front crossbar as far forward as possible (it it's adjustable), and then you will need to measure from the center of the bar to the seam of the rear hatch.

• Recommendation for the Quietest 14 Cu Ft Rooftop Cargo Box
  When I asked a few others here at etrailer for their opinion on the quietest cargo box that we offer, all said the Thule Pulse, # TH614 due to it's aerodynamic design and it being very low-profile. The Pulse is 14 cubic feet of additional cargo space and attaches quickly to most crossbars with integrated clamps, and is compatible with Thule's One Key system, letting you use a single key for all of your Thule accessories.

• Which Thule Roof Top Cargo Boxes Fit a 2012 Honda CRV
  We test fit a bunch of roof top cargo boxes on a 2013 Honda CR-V which is very similar to your 2012 model. Check out the link I attached to the right that shows all of the test fit videos we did. On all of them we had to remove the antenna as it sticks up too high and too close to the rear crossbar.

  When we installed the Thule Pulse part # TH614 on a similar 2013 Honda CR-V we found that it allowed the rear hatch to open without any interference. I attached a demo video that shows this. You will need to slide your front crossbar as far forward as possible (it it's adjustable), and then you will need to measure from the center of the bar to the seam of the rear hatch. If that measurement you took is more than 42-5/8 inches then the rear hatch will open without interference.

• Thule Cargo Box for a 2012 Honda Pilot with Factory Roof Rack that Allows Rear Hatch to Open
  You have to take fit guides with a grain of salt sometimes. The box does technically fit (the roof rack) but it is not excluded even if you cannot open the rear hatch all of the way. But not to worry, I can help you find a box that will work. The Thule Pulse Large box, # TH614, is only 67 inches long but still offers 14 cubic feet of space. This box is most likely to work with the Pilot allowing you to open the rear hatch.

• Comparing Mount Security on the Thule Pulse Rooftop Cargo Box TH614 to a Y07192 Yakima Rocketbox 14
  The clamps on the # TH614 Thule Pulse rooftop cargo box are very similar to the ones Yakima uses in the Rocketbox 14, part # Y07192. Both use a simple hand tightening knob for the clamp mechanism, and both slide easily along the bottom of the cargo box. Either one would tighten up well on the aero style bars you have on your 2013 Subaru Forester. I have not had a chance to use the Pulse box yet, but I did have an opportunity to use one of the smaller Yakima Rocketbox models on top...

• Hatch and Antenna Clearance of Thule Roof Mounted Cargo Boxes on 2016 Acura MDX w/ Factory Crossbars
  The tallest point of the Thule Sonic cargo box would be 16 inches above the top of the crossbar. Thule doesn't list an 'optimal' installation information, they consider it a 'fit or no fit' proposition. Thule considers the Pulse to be a bit too long to mount to the roof of a 2016 Acura MDX without interfering with the rear hatch. You can confirm this by measuring from the center of the front crossbar (move bar all the way forward if possible) back to the seam between the roof and the...

• What is the Purpose of the Tie Down Included with Thule Pulse Cargo Box and is it Required
  The load straps and anchor points included with the Thule Pulse cargo box # TH614 can be used to secure items being carried in the box. There is also a strap that hangs down when the box is open so you can pull it to close the lid. The load straps and anchor points do not have to be used. The strap to pull the lid down though is very handy.

• Are the Thule Cargo Boxes Water Tight to Prevent Water from Leaking Out
  Most rooftop cargo boxes are not water tight. There are small voids in the floor of the cargo box around the mounting clamps. The Thule Pulse cargo boxes like part # TH614 that you referenced does have rubber strips around the openings, but small voids are still present. One pleasant feature of the Pulse cargo boxes is that the center of the cargo box is raised. This will allow water to pool in the lower sections toward the front and rear. There are no holes in the lower sections. I...

• Rooftop Cargo Carrier Fit on 2012 Ford Edge With Factory Crossbars
  The Thule Pulse Medium # TH614 requires a crossbar spread of 23-5/8 inches to 33-3/8 inches. This can be accomplished with aftermarket crossbars, but will not fit on your factory crossbars with the measurements you gave. The Car Top Cargo Rooftop Cargo Box - 18 cu ft - Black # CTC-18S will fit a crossbar spread of 22 inches. It uses hardware with an internal measurement of 3-3/4 inches. I've attached a photo to assist. The 22 inch spread is center to center, but depending on the...

With this box installed it will NOT interfere with the rear hatch when opened. I have included a link to a video showing the features of the box for you.

• Will a 21 x 32 x 13 Suitcase Fit Inside the Thule Pulse Medium Cargo Box
  The interior width of 33 inches on the Pulse medium cargo box # TH614 is the useable width. A suitcase that is 21 inches wide would not have a problem fitting. The 14 inches of height is at the tallest point. It tapers significantly towards the front but not as much towards the back. Worse case scenario you may have to place the suitcase in at an angle for the best fit. Of place it so that the length of the suit case fits in the 33 inch width of the box to make it easier to fit in...

• Is the Thule Pulse Roof Mounted Cargo Box Water Tight or Water Proof
  Where the top and bottom halves meet, the edges are rolled a full 180 degrees. Water would have to come straight up from the bottom and turn 180 degrees to get inside. The box is not water proof or water tight, but as long as it is closed all the way, rain will not fill the box. We always recommend our customers in rainy areas throw their luggage or cargo in a plastic bag so if any moisture does get in, the cargo will not soak it up.

• Cargo Boxes for 2013 Lexus RX350 That Wont Interfere With Rear Hatch
  You'll need to take a measurement to determine which rack would be best. If your front roof crossbar is adjustable, move it all the way forward. Then, measure rearward until you reach the seam between the rear hatch and the roof. Consult the last column of the table I provided, and compare your measurement to those shown. If your vehicle measures less than the number listed, that cargo box will fit your vehicle without contacting your hatch. For example, if your measurement was less...

• Will Thule Pulse Medium Cargo Box Interfere with Antenna on 2018 Nissan Rogue Sport
  The Thule Pulse Medium Rooftop Cargo Box # TH614 that you referenced should fit perfectly on your 2018 Nissan Rogue Sport without any interference with that prominent rear antenna. We actually mounted this exact box on an older 2014 model Rogue Sport, which is the same generation as your 2018 model, and as you can see by the below image there was plenty of space between the box and the antenna. If you want to be extra sure you can also take a measurement from the center of the front...

• Will the Thule Pulse Medium Cargo Box Fit a 2016 Jeep Renegade with Thule AeroBlade Roof Rack
  Since the roof racks for your 2016 Jeep Renegade can be adjusted to have the bars more forward or rearward along the side rails you will be able to position the box so that it is in the optimal position to eliminate or reduce any interference there might be with the rear hatch on the vehicle. The position of the front of the box relative to the windshield is another matter. A pretty good rule to go by is if you are sitting in the drivers seat and can see the box from your normal sitting...

• Can the Thule Pulse Cargo Box # TH614 Be Mounted Off Center on the Passenger Side of a Prius V
  Yes, you can mount the Thule Pulse Cargo Box, # TH614, off center toward the passenger side of your Prius V. In fact, this cargo box was designed to open only on the passenger side so you could safely open the cargo box on the side of the road if you found yourself in that situation. If you want to mount the cargo box closer to the passenger side of the vehicle to make it easier to open, load or unload, that is perfectly fine.
