Hey Michael,
I do have ideas regarding what you need to replace the cradles on your Thule Ascent 1700 cargo box. I went ahead and checked with Thule for you and was able to find the correct replacements, which are the following:
- Thule Snapfit Cradle Replacement Kit - 4 Cradles and 4 Screws # TH68NB
I do want to note these don't come individually, so you do have to get the kit with all four, even though you mentioned needing three.
