Will the Thule Big Mouth Upright Carrier fit on a Thicker Roof Mount on a 2021 Volkswagen Golf?

Question:
You are my only hope . . . I have the Thule TH99XTR but got a new car with thicker roof rack mounts. I need longer screws which I think you have - Replacement Carriage Bolt - M6 x 75mm Item # TH915-0675-11 However, I also need at least 5 of the T-Bolts which need to be the same length as the above. I have an old part number - 753-0242-06 - I need all of the carriage screws and t-bolts to be about 3 inches. Please advise if you have these or alternatives. Thanks in advance Craig

I do have a solid solution to the news I received from the manufacturer. They informed me that there is no way to fit the Thule Big Mouth Upright Carrier # TH599XTR on a thicker roof mount. The Yakima High Road Roof Bike Rack # Y02114 is the easy alternative. It shouldn't have an issue fitting any standard bars (regardless of style) on the market.
