• Recommendation for Adding Battery to Toolbox on Travel Trailer Tongue
  Depending on how you mount the battery inside the tongue mounted tool box like # MT80350, you may or may not need longer battery cables. Since your battery is already mounted in this location, you most likely just need to drill holes and reconnect the same wires. I recommend using the Loctite RTV 598 High-Performance Silicone Gasket Maker # LT37467 to seal those holes to protect moisture from becoming an issue. If you need to run longer cables, I recommend you not splice in a portion,...

• Can You Drill Holes in a Thule Cargo Box to Move it Forward and Clear the Rear Hatch
  Yes, you can drill new holes in your Thule Frontier Cargo Box in order to clear the rear hatch on your 2018 Subaru Outback Wagon. I also recommend using part # LT37467 to cover up the old holes so water doesn't get in. The only thing you need to be aware of when drilling new holes is how you load the cargo box. Since the front of the box is going to be moved further away from the crossbars you will just want to make sure you keep the heavier items towards the rear and centered on the crossbars.

• Can I Move the Mounting Spots on my Sears Cargo Box to Work With Bars Spread Further Apart?
  Yes. You are able to move the mounting hardware on your Sears Sport 15 roof top cargo carrier to accommodate mounting it on wider crossbar spreads. You'll need to drill new holes to match the new spacing and then re-seal the box by filling the old holes with a sealant like the Loctite # LT37467 . If you need new mounting hardware, you can use the Replacement Hardware Kit for Sears Cargo Boxes # TH05603 which will provide you with new U Bolts for mounting your Sears box to cross bars...

• Recommended Parts to Re-Install Lock Mechanism on 1997 Thule Rooftop Cargo Box
  Thule does not supply the cargo box lock mounting rivets as replacement parts; this is because these are not intended to be removed. But you certainly can substitute other hardware, and that does not necessarily even have to be rivets, to re-install the lock assembly on your '97 Thule cargo box. Since this hardware will see some exposure to the elements I suggest that you select stainless-steel bolts, washers and nuts. Your local full-service hardware store should have a decent assortment...

• Recommended Retro-Fit for Cargo Carrier With New Car and Wider Crossbar Spread or Replacement Box
  Drilling new holes in your Sport 20-SV cargo carrier will allow you to mount it to your 2018 Toyota Highlander, but it may change the weight capacity of the carrier. If you choose to use this method, then I recommend the Loctite RTV 598 High-Performance Silicone Gasket Maker - Black # LT37467 to make your carrier water-tight by filling the old holes. If you want to consider a similar box with an adjustable base for cross bar spread, I recommend the SportRack Horizon Rooftop Cargo Box...

  I did some research and Unfortunately there is no replacement lock available for you SportRack Aero XL cargo box.

• Recommended 2016 Keystone Sprinter Control Box Sealant
  The sealant on the Lippert Control box you referenced is simply a high performance gasket sealant. I recommend the Loctite RTV 598 High-Performance Silicone Gasket Maker - Black # LT37467 as a replacement to keep that box sealed tight from the elements. Keep a wet rag close by when using this as it can be messy and also sticky. It will take only 30 minutes to set but 24 hours to cure.

The sealant is for the trailer siding to keep moisture out. You can see in our installation video I've attached our installer used butyl tape like # AL64UV.

• 1991 Yakima RocketBox Replacement Mounting Hardware Compatible with Aero Bars
  Your old Yakima RocketBox has mounting holes that are 4-1/2 inches on center, so there isn't a direct fit we carry. Instead I recommend using the Replacement Hardware Kit for Searsbox Cargo Box # TH05603. This will fit your Malone Aero bars like # MPG215 on your 2015 Toyota RAV4 as well as the factory bars on your 2008 Honda Pilot. I recommend using the gasket maker # LT37467 to seal the extra holes in your box to prevent water entry at the unused locations.

  The Valterra Eccentric Tank Reducer part # T1041-1 has a 3" spigot end which installs inside the neck on the waste water tank and then a 1-1/2" hub end which you would slide a pipe into.

• Can the Curt T-Connector be Permanently Mounted on the Outside of a 2019 Toyota Highlander
  Yes, you definitely can mount the Curt T-Connector # C56217 next to your hitch receiver so that it is readily available. We haven't had any customers come in and ask for it to be installed that specific way yet (January 2019) so I don't have a video, but there should be a grommet in the rear cargo area of your 2019 Toyota Highlander that you can push the 4-Way Flat connector through. If you need to cut the grommet to push the connector through then you can use some sealant like the...

• Replacement Mounting Hardware for a Sears Sport 20-SV Cargo Box

  The U-Bolts that come in the Car Top Kit # CTC-18PARTS and the Rhino-Rack Kit # S280 measure 4" apart on center.

• Recommended Placement and Sealant for Installing Polar Multi-Purpose Ventilator PLR20
  The Polar Multi-Purpose Ventilator # PLR20 has a lever to close the vent when there is risk of heavy rain (please see the linked photo) but the vent will block most water since it also has down-facing louvers on the outside. The lever lets you choose how much airflow you want. Using one at each end of the trailer is a good way to provide cross-ventilation and for the most cooling I suggest placing the rear vent up high (so it can expel more hot air from inside the trailer) and the front...

• Best Bulb and Socket Kit for Flat Towing 2018 Chevrolet Equinox
  I do have an opinion for you but the RoadMaster Bulb and Socket Set part # RM-155-2 is not a confirmed fit for you 2018 Chevrolet Equinox. For a bulb and socket kit that will work with your vehicle, I recommend using the Roadmaster Tail Light Wiring Kit with Bulbs part # RM-155 for incandescent or part # RM-152-LED for LED. As long as you do not have the Premier edition then either of these kits will work well for you In order to install either kit you can also going to need a silicone...

• Replacement External Lid Hinge for Yakima RocketBox Rooftop Cargo Box
  On cargo boxes like the Yakima RocketBox series the external hinges and most other components that are riveted into place at the time of manufacture are not user-replaceable. So this just means you might need to drill out the rivets on the bad hinge, remove it completely and install a new one using more conventional nuts-and-bolts hardware. We do offer two replacement hinges, parts # TH13227 from Thule and # SR03396 from SportRack, and one of these will work fine on another brand of...

• How to Mount Yakima SpaceCase Cargo Box to Factory Crossbars on 2020 Subaru Forester
  I do have a solution for you, however I reached out to my contact at Yakima and he said the Universal MightyMounts # Y03590 aren't compatible with your older SpaceCase Cargo Box. The mounting hardware for the SpaceCase is a bit different and you won't be able to properly attach the MightyMount clamps. Your best route for mounting the SpaceCase to the wider aero-style factory crossbars on your new Forester is to replace its existing hardware with part # 8870098. This kit consists of...

• Can Yakima RocketBox Mount to 2016 Subaru Crosstrek With Factory Crossbars
  There is not a conversion kit available, but I reached out to Yakima in regards to attempting to mount this RocketBox, and they told me the following: "That is an older box but their (2016 Subaru Crosstrek) can carry it if the mounting holes are 4" apart. Have them measure the distance between the holes where the mounting hardware goes." What this means is that if your '16 Crosstrek has crossbars that are less than 4", which it should, then you should be able to use use this cargo box.

• How to Mount 7 Way to 2019 Subaru Outback With Hidden Cross Tube Hitch
  I understand the frustration, manufacturers are making hitches more hidden and sleek. It's nice having the cross bar hidden, but it does make it challenging to mount wiring because that's the traditional spot. You can route the 4 pole wire out to the bumper through a grommet that is under the spare tire. I have done that many times to get the wires out towards the hitch, you'll just want to make sure the wire is protected and to seal the grommet up with some silicone # LT37467. You...

  I reached out to my contact at Thule and the bars you are seeking are not available as a replacement option. They have discontinued those style locks so you will be forced to improvise or upgrade.
