How Does The Thule Vector M Rooftop Cargo Box TH613201 Mount To Crossbars?
Updated 12/22/2025 | Published 10/21/2024 >
Question:
Is there a way to directly connect the Vector cargo box to a Thule evo or edge wing bar instead of the clamps? Understand it might take more time to install/remove but curious if that is more secure, cleaner look, and possibly a bit less noise even.

Good to hear from you again, Navid. There is only one mounting method for the Thule Vector M Rooftop Cargo Box # TH613201 and those are the crossbar clamps that come with it (pictured below). There is no way to mount it directly to the top channel on the crossbars.

Hey Navid, were you able to get the Vector cargo box mounted with the standard clamps? Knowing how the setup turned out could help others looking for a cleaner or quieter fit.
