Will the Yakima SkyBox 16 Fit Rhino Rack on 2014 Audi A8L
Question:
Im trying to figure out if the Rhino Rack will fit and be strong enough to support a Yakima Skybox NX 16, on our 2014 Audi A8L. Pretty sure itll fit, but not sure about whether the specs for the Euro rails are ok for a cargobox...

Starting with the roof rack itself, the Rhino-Rack 2500 Roof Rack referenced in your question is confirmed to fit your 2014 Audi A8L without existing rails or crossbars. This system consists of # RRVA126B-2 for the 49 inch long Crossbars, # RRRLKVA for the 2500 Series Legs, and # DK314 for the Custom Fit Kit.
This roof rack has a weight capacity of 165 pounds, making it more than strong enough to support the Yakima SkyBox NX 16 Cargo Box # Y95AV that you also referenced. You will just want to check your vehicle's owner's manual for the capacity of the roof itself, as this might be your limiting factor. The crossbar dimensions are also compatible with the cargo box and it will mount without issue. This is a really nice cargo box that will provide you with 16 cubic feet of storage space and built in locks to help deter theft of your valuables.
I have attached a couple short video demonstrations on these products that you can also take a look at.
