Question:
We recently bought a 2002 volvo xc70 and it has the volvo rails and crossbars. We have heard that the crossbars are thule, and there was no wrench to remove the crossbars when we dont need them. Is this the one we should get?

Expert Reply:
To my knowledge, part # 853-5269 is the only tamper-proof fastener that Thule uses on their crossbars. If the fastener on the crossbars looks like the photo shown in the product description, this would be the correct wrench. This particular bolt looks like a Torx head with a pin in the center.
Thule also used a different bolt in some of their roof-top cargo baskets. This fastener looks more like a allen bolt with a pin in the center. This wrench is part # 853-5270-02. The bolt that it fits is part # 853-5269-05, click on the link provided to see a photo of this bolt.
