Question:
Hi I have a 2022 BMW X3 with BMW dealer-installed roof racks. I also have an older Thule Canyon basket ~ 10 years old, no serial that looks just the regular one in the pics. Previously mounted on a Yukon GMC, the mounting hardware does not work for the BMW X3. What is the full set of mounting hardware I’ll need to secure the basket to the BMW roof racks? Will this replacement set be all I need? Thanks!

Hey, Robin. Thanks for reaching out.
Would you be able to reply back with a picture showing how the Thule Canyon #TH859XT doesn’t mount on your BMW crossbars? The rack is universal and can mount to any shape of bars. Once I get your pictures, I’ll be able to get a better idea of what’s going on and look into a solution for you.

The rack comes with several adapters for various types of racks. I now have a Subaru but I have also owned. BMW wagon with the same rack. Enjoy!
