Replacement Cradle Hardware for the Thule Spirit 1600XT # TH689USXT

Updated 03/10/2020 | Published 02/15/2014

Question:

Im looking for a bottom bracket replacement for the Spirit 1600XT / 689USXT that is similar to may be the same as the item on Thule spare parts website for Thule Boxter 611 Power grip cradle 14019. Is this item the same? It looks similar, but appears to be a smaller height dimension... is it equivalent? Photos attached of the part I am looking for.

Yes, the Acutight Replacement Cradle # TH8523387001 that you referenced would be the correct replacement cradle for your Thule Spirit Cargo Box 1600XT because this box uses the AcuTight installation hardware.

This cradle also fits the last generation of QuickGrip hardware.

Can I replace the older style mounting bracket on my Thule Weekender 627 cargo box with the newer style Thule QuickGrip mounting hardware?

We've actually checked with Thule in the past and were told that the Quick Grip hardware isn't compatible with the Weekender boxes. If you need replacement mounting hardware you would have to go with our part # TH04997.
