Q: Do I understand I need the foot pack and the square rails to attach one of your cargo carriers to my Infiniti EX35? Can you also give me your best fit for my car – 3 moderate sized pieces of luggage.
A: Does your Infiniti have factory raised side rails or a naked roof? And just to clarify, are you looking for a luggage box or a cargo basket?
Q: I have the raised roof rails and I would like an aero luggage box.
A: The Thule Altantis 1600 ought to have enough room for three suitcases with a bit to spare. Dimensions: 74″(L) x 36″(W) x 16.3″(H). We have plenty of other shapes and sizes available.
And yes, you do need to get some kind of crossbars between those roof rails to use a box. Take a look at the Thule 450R system – the new aerodynamic crossbar shape is quieter than square bars.
Q: I have the factory crossbars (packed away) but they are fixed at 19″ spacing, hence the interest in the Thule system. I assume the Thule system will elevate the box to clear the factory spoiler.
A: You will get a few inches of elevation with the 450R. To be sure about spoiler clearance, you may need to do some measurements, but the mounting hardware on the boxes allows for some fore/aft adjustment to prevent hatch interference.
