Thule Car Roof Box Replacement Lid Lifter 623/624/628/633/634/Pulse/Ascent/Atlantis - 14933

Perfect fit for my Thule cartop carrier. I don't know the model name, but the part number for my carrier is 8523402001. Took about fifteen minutes to replace the broken hinge. Use an Allen wrench to unscrew the hinge, then use a flathead screwdriver or pliers to pry the metal insert out of the old hinge, then use channel locks to press the metal part into the new hinge and screw the hinge on using the same Allen wrench. Like new!

Easily replaced broken hinge on box

Popped the broken one out and replaced with this in about 10 minutes in our Thule. It was a weird angle to work with but pretty straightforward! I would buy another if we have one snap again. (Don’t bend them the wrong way like me lol).

Use large channel lock pliers to remove old Lid Lifter. It will pop off loudly. Use a little oil around the metal ball joints for easier application. Use large channel lock pliers with a soft cloth on the outside to not harm the outer plastic. Just pop in new lid after lubricating ball joints. Works just like original box. Easy to replace instead of fixing the old one. Very happy.

Excelente, ya instalado. Ojo que es solo una unidad. P

Perfect replacement for my 2nd broken hinge on my Thule carrier. They are a real bear to snap on, so be prepared for a fight.

Thank you for everybody who left detailed reviews on how to install this. Getting the old one off was a bit of a chore, had to cut one end of the original lift off the metal with a hack saw. CAREFULLY of course. Getting the replacement on was super simple with the C-clamp. While some may see getting the old one off and the new one on as a negative, I couldn't be happier knowing that this will NOT fall apart and open up while driving 70 MPH along the interstate with this thing strapped to the top of the vehicle.

Replaced another brand that lasted 3 months. Will see how this handles being used. For those who complain how hard they are to install, you don't just want them popping off when ever they want. Use a big clamp to press them on. Takes some work to get them on.
