Largest Rooftop Mounted Cargo Box Available for a 2016 Acura MDX
Question:
Thank you for the answer, the antenna is not higher than the bar but I think all I need is 14 to 16 size. My concern is the fitting and hatch clearance and allow enough room for the antenna to have a clear opening to the sky for good reason signal.

The Thule Motion XT Rooftop Cargo Box part # TH629906 has one of the largest internal storage compartments (22 cu. ft.) of any roof box on the market. The roof box has a glossy back finish, dual sided openings, and easy to use mounting hardware. The box measures 91-1/2" long x 37-1/2" wide x 18" tall and works with most factory crossbar types/spreads.
If the rear shark fin antenna on the roof of your 2016 Acura MDX extends up past the height of the crossbars then none of our cargo boxes will clear the antenna. If the shark fin antenna does extend up past the height of your roofs crossbars, then the best option for you would be to use a hitch mounted cargo carrier like the Yakima EXO Swing Away Enclosed Cargo Carrier - 2" Hitches # Y62VR which will also require a trailer hitch like part # C13146.
In order to determine if the above cargo box will clear the rear hatch while open you will need a minimum of 52 inches from the point where the roof meets the hatch to the center of the front crossbar. I have attached a review video of both the hitch and roof cargo boxes for you as well.
