How to Mount a Thule Cascade Cargo Box to Aero Crossbars on a 2017 Subaru Outback Wagon
Published 08/31/2018
Question:
How can I mount this older box? I had it on a car with square thule bars. The box holes line up with the cross bar locations, I could use the plates inside/top and outside/bottom but the bolts are too long. Just get shorter bolts at hardware store? The plates are not a perfect match, is there a better clamp system that matches the profile of the cross bars on the new Outback?

Expert Reply:
Yes, in order to attach the Thule Cascade Cargo Box to your 2017 Subaru Outback Wagon I recommend using the Replacement Hardware Kit part # TH05603. The u-bolts included with this kit are designed specifically for aero crossbars and will work well for you. The dimensions of the u-bolt are attached for you so you can make sure the holes line up but if not you can always drill new ones.
