What about clearance with the cargo
box fitted, will my vehicle still fit in my
garage or underground parking?
An easy way to accurately measure
clearance is by placing something long
and flat (a wood 2x4 works) across the
width of the vehicle. Place it on the
CrossBars (you need these to mount your
Cargo Box... if you don’t have them we
can help you with the right fitment).
You can now measure your estimated
clearance to the top of the garage
opening. The Thule “Flow”, Thule “Sonic
Alpine”, Thule “Force Alpine”, and Thule
“Pulse Alpine” are some of our most
popular options.

right rack for your vehicle.
What size cargo box is best suited for
my needs, and my vehicle?
Determine the maximum length and width
of the items you plan to put in the cargo
box. Example: Skis, Snowboards, luggage,
etc.
You can now compare the dimensions
of the cargo boxes and determine which
ones will accommodate your cargo items.
The ideal length of a cargo box that works
on your vehicle is also easy to determine.
If you have a hatch on your vehicle (SUV,
Minivan or station wagon), open the hatch
to the upright position and measure from
back of the roof line to the top of the wind-
Which cargo box will look best on my
vehicle? Yes, you can have looks and
functionality!
Why not enhance the look of your vehicle
when you have a Cargo Box installed?
The glossy finish and two-tone (Thule
“Hyper XL”) is often considered the most
desirable looking... but it’s up to you!
Check out the gloss black, silver and grey
finishes available.

more enjoyable by freeing up space inside
