Will the Sunroof Support a Fully Loaded Thule Cargo Bag
Products Featured in This Question
Question:
We purchased the TH868, 13 cubic feet of storage if that also makes a difference in the cargo box. Our Acadia is a 2012. It is a leased vehicle however. We also have a 2007 GMC Yukon Denali. Im wondering if the cargo boxes are universal with GMC vehicles? Thank you again so much! I called the GMC dealership and even they couldnt answer my question.

Helpful Expert Reply:
Vehicle manufacturers do not recommend placing any cargo directly on sunroofs. The glass was not designed to support additional weight.
A better option for you would be to add crossbars to your factory side rails and use a roof basket and a cargo bag or a roof mounted cargo box. This would keep the load off of the sunroof and allow you to carry more weight.
Based on your photo, it appears that you have a GMC Acadia. There are different roof rack options depending on the year of your Acadia, so if you would like to send me the year, I will be happy to give you all of your roof rack options.
