Will Yakima Skyboxes and the ForkLift Bike Rack Fit on Thule AeroBlade Load Bars
Question:
Hello eTeailer, It looks like you have a pre-production Thule AeroBlade installed on a vehicle. Would you mind testing to see if the clamps of the Yakima Skybox cargo box and Forklift fork mount fit around this new loadbar? Thank you.

I went out to the warehouse and pulled a Yakima ForkLift Bike Rack, # Y02098, and the mounting hardware used by a SkyBox, # Y90135. I did a test fit on a Thule AeroBlade Load Bar. I am happy to report that everything fit.
The ForkLift and SkyBox both have mounting hardware that has enough adjustability to fit on the new AeroBlade Bars.
I made a short video demonstrating the fit.
