• Adding Kayak Carrier and Roof Box to Rhino-Rack Pioneer Platform
  The Thule Force XT Sport Cargo Box # TH6356B measures 24-3/4 inches wide and the Rhino-Rack J-Style Kayak Carrier # S512 will take up about 24 inches of crossbar space when it's in its upright position for a single kayak. This width might increase if you have a larger kayak that requires you to adjust the J-cradle down a bit. Both of these mounted side by side will get you extremely close to if not over the 49 inch overall width on your Rhino-Rack Pioneer Platform Rack like # JA9133....

• Kit Needed to Swap Lock Cores Out of Thule Force Cargo Box
  You can use a Thule Re-Keying kit part # TH450200 which comes with two new cores, two keys, and a change key. But to remove the old lock core will require you to unlock it first. Once unlocked you can insert the change key and the old core will slide right out. If you don't have a key to unlock what you have you'll need a key for it. To pick out the key you'd then want the part # THKEYNXXX where the X's equal your key number.

• Cargo Box for 3 Snowboards for a 2016 Subaru Impreza Hatchback
  If your 2016 Subaru Impreza hatchback came with the factory roof rack including the crossbars that run side to side then I recommend the Thule Force XT Sport # TH6356B. This box will hold up to 3 to 4 snowboards up to 175cm long. If your Impreza does not have the factory crossbars or the factory side rails then you would need to add a roof rack. For a model without any sort of rail or bar on the roof you would use the 47 inch SquareBars, part # TH712200, along with the Evo clamp feet,...

• Will Thule Force XT Sport Allow Hatch on 2016 Honda CR-V to Open
  For the Thule Force XT Sport Rooftop Cargo Box # TH6356B to allow the hatch on your 2016 Honda CR-V to fully open without interference you need to have at least 48-1/4" from the middle of your forward most crossbar to the line where your roof and your hatch meet up. From what I could find it looks like this shouldn't be an issue for you. I'm not really sure where your antenna sits in relation to your crossbars so it is a little hard to determine if the Force XT Sport will clear it but...

• Thule Kayak Carrier To Use With Thule Force XT Cargo Box
  I do have an option for you but I contacted Thule and the Thule Hullavator part # TH898 actually requires 38 inches of bar space to install so it would not fit on the 60" cross bar with the Thule Force XT Sport Rooftop Cargo Box part # TH6356B that is 25" wide. I recommend to use the Thule Force XT Sport Rooftop Cargo Box with a J-style Kayak carrier Malone DownLoader Kayak Carrier and TelosXL Load Assist part # MPG114MD-351XL. These J-style carriers only measure 6 inches wide so you...

• Will Thule Force Alpine # TH623 Clear Rear Antenna Fit of 2014 Toyota 4Runner
  I looked up pictures of the antenna/fin you have on the rear of your 2014 Toyota 4Runner and it only appears to be slightly taller than the top of the roof rack crossbars, so the tapered rear of the Thule Force XT part # TH6356B would pretty easily clear above it. If you check out the picture I attached you can see that the rear of the box angles up compared to where it mounts to the crossbars.

• Use of Weather-Strip Material to Prevent Water Entering Thule Rooftop Cargo Box
  Virtually no manufacturer actually wants/encourages owners to modify their products; this is certainly true for Thule and their various cargo boxes. My contact there advised that Thule cannot recommend making such a change although I do understand your interest in making your rooftop cargo box as water-tight as possible. It is all but impossible to make a rooftop cargo box totally waterproof. My Thule contact did say that on older cargo boxes that have seen a lot of use sometimes the...

• Measuring to Determine Which Thule Cargo Boxes Fit a Lexus RX 350
  Front overhang for cargo boxes is not an issue of concern. Longer boxes will overhang the front some but most boxes have adjustable feet to allow you to have the box more forward or rearward on the vehicle roof. The area of concern is the back of the vehicle. Things like antennas and rear hatch doors can interfere with the cargo box. In order to determine which Thule boxes will fit without interference you will need to take one measurement. First, if the crossbars on your Lexus RX...

• How Much Weight Can I Carry in a Box on the Roof of a 2018 Toyota RAV4
  From my research your 2018 Toyota RAV4 can carry up to 101.9 pounds on the factory roof rack. That may be oddly specific but it's what Toyota states as the maximum. So you need to make sure the roof box you choose and everything in it doesn't exceed 101.9 pounds. A good roof box that you might like is the Thule Force XT Sport, part # TH6356B. It holds up to 11 cubic feet of gear and includes locks. It fits on your RAV4's crossbars with clamps that are super easy to tighten. You...

• Thule Force XT Compatibility On Toyota 4Runner With Factory Roof Rack
  The Thule Force XT has one of my favorite mounting systems across all roof boxes. The clamps make it easily compatible with most roof racks. Your 2020 Toyota 4Runner factory rack is one of them. You have options when it comes to sizes, in my opinion, the more room the better. 11 Cubic Feet # TH6356B 16 Cubic Feet # TH6357B 18 Cubic Feet # TH6358B 22 Cubic Feet # TH6359B

• Rooftop Cargo Box Recommendations for 2017 Subaru Outback
  All rooftop cargo boxes will generate wind noise and to some degree all will negatively affect mileage but those with the more aerodynamic low-profile shape, such as Thule's Hyper XL # TH612, will tend to be quieter and will have slightly less effect on fuel economy. At 90-inches external length this is the longest box Thule recommends for your Outback. It can handle skis up to 201-cm in length so it may be more than you need. It also weighs 53-lbs empty so keep in mind that what you can...

• Which Thule Cargo Boxes Will Fit Thule Square Crossbars on a 2007 Honda Fit Sport
  The choices of compatible Thule rooftop cargo boxes for the square load bars on your 2007 Honda Fit Sport will depend on several factors: the vehicle roof weight limit, the crossbar spacing and access to the rear hatch. A roof-mounted antenna may also interfere with some larger cargo boxes. The largest boxes from Thule will interfere with your rear hatch and/or your roof antenna.

• Can a Surfboard Be Carried on Top of Thule Force Large Rooftop Cargo Box # TH624
  Rooftop cargo boxes like the Thule Force L # TH6356B that you referenced are a great way to transport cargo items that need protection from the elements. However, these ABS plastic cargo carriers are not designed to bear any weight, only to carry the specified cargo weight of what is loaded inside them. I cannot recommend placing anything on top of this or any other plastic cargo box. Transporting any rooftop cargo on a vehicle requires that you observe the vehicle's maximum rated roof...

• Do the PowerClick Clamps on the Thule Force XT Roof Boxes Ever Stop Clicking
  The PowerClick Clamps on the Thule Roof Boxes such as the Thule Force XT part # TH6356B will produce an audible click once tightened properly. The audible click will be heard each time the knob is turned while tight. It sounds like this one may be damaged so replacement, part # 1401467300, is what I recommend. If the clamp is not working like the others then that's a good sign it is defective.

• Will Thule Force Medium Rooftop Cargo Box Fit Onto Factory Roof Rack on 2016 Mazda CX-5
  The Thule Force XT Sport Rooftop Cargo Box # TH6356B referenced in your question is compatible with most factory crossbars. I did some research on the factory roof rack for your 2016 Mazda CX-5, and it looks like they include aero-style crossbars which have a low profile design and a wider surface for roof rack accessories to mount onto. I could not find the actual dimensions of the crossbars, but the Thule Force Cargo Box will fit onto crossbars with a maximum width of 3-1/2 inches and...

• Will Thule Evolution 1600 Cargo Box Clear Antenna and Hatch on 2014 Mazda CX5
  The Thule Evolution cargo box has been discontinued since 2007 so I do not have any fit information on it. But I can tell you how to figure it out. First, there were two types of Evolution cargo box. One had just drilled holes for the mounting feet and the other had slots with more adjustability. In either case you will measure from the center of the forward most mounting foot position straight back to the furthest part at the back of the box. Then with the front crossbar as far...

• Roof Cargo Box and Kayak Carrier Recommendation to Fit 2019 Toyota Highlander with Factory Rack
  We have the Thule Force XT part # TH6356B which is 24-3/4 inches wide and has 11 cubic feet of cargo space. This would easily be narrow enough to also accommodate a kayak carrier.
