Repair Thule Cargo Box / Car Top Carrier Lid Lifter

Watch how to replace lid lifters on a Thule cargo box/car top carrier.

Compatibility: Similar procedure should apply to all Thule cargo boxes, but keep in mind that the lid lifters are not universal across every model. Although any given lifter will work with multiple models, you’ll need to order the lid lifter that’s compatible with your cargo box model.

Robb’s DIY Rating on 1 (easy) to 5 (hardest) Scale: I give it a 1. Make sure you have a good set of pliers and a long flat head screw driver. Use force but be careful not to exert an excessive amount of force that will break the carrier.
