Product Information
Full details
The Thule Mountain Brackets are designed for outdoor enthusiasts who own a Thule rooftop tent and want a more efficient, secure mounting system for their vehicle's roof rack. By replacing traditional hardware with a fast-acting twist-and-tighten mechanism, these brackets significantly reduce setup time, though users should ensure their specific roof rack model is compatible before installation.

FAQs
Does this pack include everything needed to mount one tent?
Yes, this pack includes four mounting brackets and one torque wrench, which is the complete set required for one rooftop tent.
Can I use these with non-Thule tents?
These brackets are specifically engineered for the listed Thule tent models and are not guaranteed to fit third-party tent rail systems.
What is the weight of the mounting kit?
The total weight of the four-pack assembly is 2.05 kg.
What happens if I lose the torque wrench?
The torque wrench is a specialized tool necessary for the correct tensioning; it is recommended to keep it in a secure location such as your glove box or a dedicated tool pouch.
Are the locks keyed alike?
Yes, the brackets are designed to be used with the standard Thule locking system provided with your tent.
Troubleshooting
Bracket does not slide into the rail.
Ensure the rail is clean and free of debris. Verify that the bracket alignment matches the orientation of the T-slot.
Torque wrench is not clicking.
Check if the bolt is fully seated in the slot. If it spins freely, the locking mechanism may not have engaged the rack track properly.
Lock is difficult to turn.
Apply a small amount of dry lubricant to the lock cylinder. Do not use heavy oils that attract dirt.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up the brackets, slide the hardware into the tent rail and rotate it to lock into place. The included torque wrench should be used until it clicks. These brackets are strictly compatible with the following Thule models: Thule Basin, Thule Basin Wedge, Thule Ayer, Thule Kukenam, Thule Autana, Thule Foothill, and Thule Approach. Maintenance is minimal, but you should periodically inspect the locking mechanism for debris and keep the included torque wrench in a dry, accessible location within your vehicle.
