Your Thule Evolution 1600 cargo box used the EasySnap Mounting Hardware Kit, which is now obsolete. On their own, the QuickGrip Mount Assembly will not work on the Thule Evolution 1600 cargo box. It would require some drilling and some at home work along with these cradles # TH05738 to retro fit older boxes for these mounts.

If your current mounts need replacing and you can't find the discontinued EasySnap Kit, then QM3 - Quick Mount Hardware # TH04997 is your next best solution. I attached a video reviewing the hardware.
