Installing a replacement hinge or strut on your Thule rooftop cargo box isn't complicated, but it does take some force. I have added a link to a video showing how to do this, and you can forward to about the 1:30 part to get to the nitty gritty. In our video, our installer uses a clamp (like in the accompanying photo) to make it easier.
The correct replacement hinge or strut is going to depend on the exact Thule cargo box you have; there are two replacements, and the exact Thule rooftop cargo box they work with is listed on the product page:
- Replacement Lid Lifter Hinge for Thule Cargo Boxes # TH14936
- Replacement Lid Lifter Hinge for Thule Motion XT Cargo Boxes # 1401495200
