Question:

What do I need to to install a Thule Atlantis 1600 XT on a 2013 Mini Cooper Clubman with factory install roof rack? Will the Thule AeroBlade Load Bars with the Thule Rapid Crossroad Roof Mounted Railing Foot Pack work? Is there anything else I need? Thanks for advice.

Expert Reply:

If you just have the side rails that run front to back then you can use the Thule WingBars # TH711200 and the Evo raised rail feet # TH710401. If you prefer the WingBars in black use # TH711220 instead.

You could then mount the Ascent cargo box. This box has been discontinued. You might be interested in one of the all new Thule boxes like the Pulse, # TH614.

I checked with Thule and the Atlantis 1600 XT will not fit, but Yakima has numerous boxes that will if your Clubman has factory crossbars that run side to side. For a 16 cubic foot Yakima box I recommend the Yakima SkyBox 16 Cargo Box, # Y95AV. This box is 75-1/2 inches long.
