Replacement Mounting Hardware for Subaru Factory Cargo Box  

Updated 11/04/2019 | Published 11/02/2019

Question:

I was given a box with Subaru on the side but I’m sure it’s a Thule as that’s what the clamps. I can’t find a model number and need to know what clamps I would need for this box. I have one but would need a new set for a 2018 Subaru Forester with the factory roof rack and cross bars

To replace the mounting hardware for your Subaru/Thule Cargo box, you'll want to use the Replacement EasySnap Mounting Hardware # TH05820 . The U-bolts in this kit are 3-1/4 wide x 3" long x 1/4" diameter and will fit on most factory and aftermarket crossbars. If your existing U-bolts are a different dimension, please let me know what the measurements are and I may be able to find a more suitable replacement.

The other option to make those work in the event that they don't line up with the factory holes is to drill new mounting holes 3-1/2" center on center (to fit the 3-1/4" U-bolts) and fill the old holes with Loctite # LT37467 in order to keep water out of the box.
