Product Information

Full details

The Thule Ocean 80 Roof Box is designed for drivers needing extra, secure storage for gear and luggage. Its key benefit is providing 320 litres of durable, scratch-resistant space that doesn't obstruct rear trunk access. A potential caveat is its 50kg maximum load capacity, requiring users to manage weight carefully. This roof box features an aeroskin finish, a rear opening for convenience, a U-Bolt mounting system, and a central locking mechanism for security.

Troubleshooting

Roof box is not secure on roof bars

Ensure all U-bolt knobs are fully tightened. Check that the roof bars are within the compatible spacing range (540-900 mm). Verify that the roof box is correctly seated on the bars.

Lid is difficult to close or lock

Check for any obstructions inside or around the locking mechanism. Ensure items inside are not preventing the lid from closing flush. Lightly lubricate the lock if necessary.

U-bolt knobs are hard to turn

Ensure the U-bolts are properly aligned with the roof bars. Clean any debris from the threads of the U-bolts and knobs. Tighten gradually.

Water ingress after washing or rain

Ensure the lid is closed and locked properly. Check seals around the lid for any damage or debris. Minor moisture can occur from condensation; ensure the interior is aired out after use.
