Will Thule Force 3 M Rooftop Cargo Box Work With Thule WingBar Roof Rack On 2024 Honda CR-V?
Updated 10/27/2025 | Published 03/06/2025
Question:
I just picked up a Thule WingBar roof rack for my 2024 Honda CR-V. Will this box work with those crossbars? Will it interfere with the rear hatch opening?

Hello Braeden, thanks for reaching out. The Thule Force 3 M Rooftop Cargo Box # TH47SA will work great with the Thule Wingbar roof rack on your 2024 Honda CR-V.
As far as the hatch opening, there must be at least 45-1/4" from the center of the front crossbar to the line where the roof and the hatch meet for the hatch to open without contacting the box. I do not have this exact measurement on hand for your CR-V, but it sounds like you already have the roof rack, so you will easily be able to measure once you get it installed.

Hey Braeden, were you able to measure the distance from your front crossbar to the hatch on your CR‑V to see if the Thule Force 3 M box clears it? Knowing how that spacing worked out could help others setting up the same roof rack and box combo.
