Replacing Rivet Covers on Thule Roof Cargo Boxes
Published 07/01/2016
Question:
Do the OEM rivet caps on the Thule box covers currently force/sonic pop out/off easily, and if they do can they be reused and push back in? Or, once off do I need to replace with these new replacement ones?

Expert Reply:
The Thule rivet covers you mentioned are compression fit and would typically fit pretty tightly. They usually won't pop out on their own. If one comes out, you can re-install it or replace it with # 14303. A tiny drop of super glue will help the cover stay in place.
If the cap is missing, it can allow a small amount of moisture to enter the box so it's recommended to replace the covers if they go missing.
