I have a Thule Adventurer Cargo Carrier. I'm looking for specs and can't seem to find any info. What kind of roof rack do you need, does it fit any roof rack and mounting instructions. I know it's an older model and I'm trying to sell it. Lost two sales because not sure how to mount it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thule is a great cargo box, I think you should try other cargo boxes available in the market.

Go to your local roof-rack dealer. They have all kinds of stuff designed for this. Thule and Yakima are the two biggest brand names, but there are others.

Snowbard rack safety

not specific for snowboard buy general rack use : 1. The Lighter the Better Most minivan roof racks are designed for carrying lightweight objects -- like skis, small ladders, well-secured aerodynamic cargo containers (like those offered by Thule) and other light loads. 2. Mind the Center of Gravity Putting heavy boxes, bulky luggage and other weighty objects on your roof will raise the center of gravity of your vehicle, which could increase the chances of a rollover during emergency maneuvering or in the event of an accident. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHSTA) also encourages drivers to follow auto manufacturer guidelines for roof rack usage. * Rollover Risk: Load Vehicles Properly [NHTSA] 3. Strap and Secure Improperly secured roof cargo can also fly off and strike vehicles travelling behind you, sometimes with tragic results. Remember: Only put lightweight objects on your roof rack, secure cargo properly with tie-downs and strong cord, and consider purchasing an aerodynamic cargo container if you plan on using your roof rack to frequently carry light loads.
