Thule 20mm roof box aerobar adapters no. TU697-1 (fits all the aluminium bars we sell)

These adapters have a 20mm x 28mm base and are M8 x 35mm long and slide into the 'T tracks' in Thule or Atera aerobars, two on the front bar, two on the rear bar, to give one fixing at each corner of the box.

They are suitable for use with Autoform, Fapa, Karrite and some Thule and Halfords boxes with 80mm U-bolts (including the Polar, Ocean, Ranger and Evolution ranges).

In our opinion this is visually a much neater solution than putting U bolts around aluminium aerobars - which almost always scratch the base of the aerobars.

These adapters are suitable for the following 'T track' bars:

• Thule
• Atera
• Whispbar/Yakima
• Cruz
• All Audi and Volkswagen
• Mercedes-Benz Alustyle
• Oris Windprofil and Oris Top Star
• Alfa Romeo
• Some Renault
• Vauxhall "T-track alloy base carriers"

Delivery FAQs

When will my order arrive?
There are no deliveries on Saturdays, Sundays or Bank Holidays, except for postable items where Royal Mail has a Saturday delivery. Express Delivery orders placed on a Friday (before 1pm) should be delivered on the Monday or Tuesday, Express Delivery orders placed on a Saturday or Sunday should be delivered on the Tuesday or Wednesday. The arrangements for Very Heavy Items are different and are shown above.

What about Next Working Day delivery?
Most Express delivery orders will arrive on the next working day, if the order is placed before the cut-off time (see above). Some will arrive on the second working day if there has been a "split-delivery". So-called “split deliveries” happen when the couriers do not have enough trailer space for everything that should be moved around the UK, so they will load what they can and leave the rest for the next trailer.

Is my delivery day guaranteed?
No retailer or courier company can ever "guarantee" a Next Working Day delivery. As well as split deliveries, all courier companies occasionally have the same transport problems as can happen to everyone else, including snow blocked roads, closed roads, traffic jams, mechanical breakdown, an inability to find the delivery address, or to gain access to it if, for example, it's in a block of flats. We work with some of the best couriers in the business, and overall they provide an outstanding service.

Do I need to be at home?
We are very flexible with our deliveries and will aim to deliver to an address which suits you – this does not need to be your home address. Goods can usually be left without signature - we prefer this with roof boxes. There's a "Special Delivery Instructions" box in the checkout area where we'll ask you to choose a typical instruction and then amend it to suit your particular requirements.

We take the following cards, and also PayPal. Please note that the entry on your card statement will be from "The Roof Box Company".
