Thule accessories have proved highly popular thanks to their innovative design and good quality – and now they are more widely available than ever before.

Thule distributor in South Africa, SA Sport & Cargo, has signed up a number of partner stores in franchised motor dealerships that will now have direct access to Thule products. Thule roof racks and mounting hardware specific to their car models, as well as luggage boxes and popular towbar- and roof-mounted bicycle carriers, are common items stocked.

However, SA Sport & Cargo can supply a dealer with a solution to mount virtually any lifestyle accessory, including the likes of fishing rods or any watersport-orientated gear, giving the dealer the opportunity to sell a fully-accessorised vehicle.

“The concept turns a corner of a showroom into a mini Thule Partner store, not just a static product display,” explains Richard Downey of SA Sport & Cargo.

“There’s no better time to accessorise than at point of sale and buyers can drive away with everything they need.”
