Installation with the Quick-Grip System

Installation and/or removal of the Atlantis Rooftop Cargo Box from your rack is easy via Thule's patented Quick-Grip mounting system. This tool-free mounting system allows you to attach your rooftop box to virtually any roof rack in less than 5 minutes. The Quick-Grip system utilizes a two-armed pincer mechanism controlled by a simple knob control. The Atlantis contains four of these knobs embedded within the bottom of the box, each set along two internal tracks that can be moved forward or back along these tracks to accommodate your existing rack crossbar configuration. As a knob is turned, the pincers are released down and inward from the bottom the cargo box. These clamp around crossbars providing fast, maximized holding power that you can count on.

Simple Use, Stowage and Security

Once Thule's Atlantis Rooftop Cargo Box is installed it is ultra easy to use. Secure, slip-free stowage of gear is provided via two tie down straps, included with the cargo box, that connect to the inner edges of the Quick-Grip units and cinch down tightly. In addition, easy access to gear is guaranteed with Thule's dual-side opening system built into the lid of Atlantis series models that allows the lid to be opened from either lengthwise side of the box. This system allows for one-handed usage, with the lid staying in place when opened. Finally, the Atlantis Rooftop Cargo Box provides for maximum and convenient security of your gear via an oversized lock with an ergonomic knob that is easy to grasp and turn, even while wearing gloves. A duplicate key is included with each unit, and new lock cores and lock upgrades can be added to existing units as the need arises.

About Thule

Thule was founded in 1942 by the Thulin family, when Eric Thulen, a true lover of the outdoors, put the Thule name on a pike trap he designed and began to sell in Scandinavia. It wasn't long before he added other practical items to the company's portfolio. By the 1960s, the company began to concentrate on car-related products, including its first roof rack. The Thulin family sold Thule to the publicly listed company Eldon in 1979, and it has continued to grow both organically and through acquisitions ever since. The Thule Group is a world leader in providing transport solutions for an active life.

4.0 out of 5 stars Specifications, Installation, and Real World Use Review, May 19, 2010
This review is from: Thule 686BXT Atlantis 1600 Rooftop Cargo Box (Black) (Sports)
The Atlantis 1600 is a well designed roof-top storage device. The model I own is the Mopar equivalent made by Thule for Mopar. Installation of this cargo box is easy. It attaches to your roof rack crossbars with four adjustable clamps. Just place the cargo box onto your roof rack positioning it's attaching clamps over the crossbars of your roof rack. Each of the four clamps move forward and aft to allow for precise positioning onto your crossbars. Once properly positioned, attachment to the roof rack is completed by turning the clamps round locking knob located on the inside of the unit. The Maximum center to center cross bar distance is 35.5 inches. Because the clamp front to back distance is easily adjustable by sliding the clamps forward or aft before tightening, the Minimum center to center crossbar distance is 24 inches. The port to starboard clamp width distance is fixed at 26.5 inches.

4.0 out of 5 stars Thule Car Top Carrier, February 13, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase( What's this?)
This review is from: Thule 686BXT Atlantis 1600 Rooftop Cargo Box (Black) (Sports)
The Thule 686 BXT Atlantis 1600 IS GENERALLY WELL MADE. I do have a problem with the lack of a good rubber, neoprene seal between the top half and the bottom half of the shell. One would think that for a product that is well over $500 that this would be part of the design to keep out moisture, etc.

Overall, I am pleased with the ease of installation and the double sided access.

This review is from: Thule 686BXT Atlantis 1600 Rooftop Cargo Box (Black) (Sports)
We purchased the 1600 a few years ago and have been amazed at how useful it is for storing our belongings for long road trips. The box is durable and yet light weight. We had one problem with one of the four cradles that the box sits on where it cracked and fell off. I contacted Thule and at no cost they sent me new and improved cradles. I was able to install them in a snap. I highly recommend this product.
