If you're needing a u bolt that has a width of 4 inches and a height of 2 inches you can use this replacement U-Bolt # TH02943. If you're needing a 3-1/2 inch wide U-Bolt that's only 1-5/8 inches tall you can use this U-Bolt # 1500052553. We have the replacement knobs # 753-0745 as well. Unfortunately the Mountaineer Roof Box is discontinued and so are the U-Bolts. Measure the distance between the holes to get an idea of what width we're looking for. You may need to drill new holes if there is no size that will fit the current ones.
