Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation of the Thule Force 3 XL requires a roof rack system already fitted to your vehicle. Because of the PowerClick system, no additional tools are needed. Simply slide the mounting claws into the box's tracks, place the box on your crossbars, and turn the dial until you hear the audible 'click' confirming it is locked tight.
For care and maintenance, clean the exterior periodically with mild soap and water. Avoid using car wash brushes or harsh chemicals, as they may damage the AeroSkin finish. It is recommended to check the mounting bolts after the first 50km of driving to ensure they remain secure. When not in use, store the box in a dry, covered area to protect the locking mechanisms.
