Replacement Clamps for Thule Frontier Cargo Box
Updated 05/10/2026 | Published 05/05/2026
Question:
I have an old Thule frontier cargo bubble that I need to find new clamps for. I have a square bar roof rack, can you suggest the correct clamps for it? Thanks!

Hey Samuel! You can replace the hardware/clamps on your Frontier with the Replacement QM3 - Quick Mount Hardware - for Adventurer Cargo Box # TH04997. This is designed to work with the Frontier and other models, and will allow you to get that mounted on your square crossbars.
Where are you headed once you get the clamps replaced?

I have an OLD Thule made before they were manufactured in the US. The QM3 kit worked well for me although I did end up trimming down the long interior black plastic holders a wee bit on the table saw for best fit with my application. I like that they have a quick release feature which allows loosening one fastener to swivel the bottom plate. If you will be taking this cargo box on and off, this makes a positive difference.
