Thule 487 Traverse Short Roof Adapter

Alternate Views

For 2 door vehicles and pickup trucks, it may be necessary to use the Traverse Short Roof Adapter to achieve a functional bar spread between the front crossbar and the back crossbar. Each crossbar needs to be mounted in the doors. In a 2-door vehicle, like the Acura RSX for example, there is only approximately 8" - 12" of usable space at the top of the doorframe, which would yield a very narrow crossbar spread.

Choose Quantity:

By using the Traverse Short Roof Adapter, you can mount a 2^nd crossbar up to 30" behind the first crossbar. The system still mounts in 2 spots on the top of the doorframe, but with magic, extends the 2^nd crossbar back further on the roof.

Corrects weight distribution for increased load capacity

Allows longer carriers to be attached (water sports carriers, cargo boxes, etc.)
