Expert Answers about Roof Box


  • Is Mounting Hardware Available To Fit Yakima Space Case Roof Box On Chevrolet Traverse Crossbars
  • We do not offer a mounting kit that will work with the Spacecase 20 roof box you have. I spoke with my contact at Yakima and they no longer offer a replacement mounting kit for that series of roof boxes. If you wish to replace the roof box with a newer model I recommend the Yakima SkyBox 18 Rooftop Cargo Box, part # Y07336. I have confirmed this box will work with the crossbars you said you have on your Traverse roof rack. I have attached a link to a product review video you can check out.

  • Availability of Roof Crossbars for a 2007 Saturn Outlook with Factory Roof Rack
  • The Sears Sport X-20 roof cargo carrier is made by Thule. I spoke with my contact at Thule and she said the Sears cargo carrier will not fit on the 2007 Saturn Outlook factory crossbars. They do not offer any crossbars that will attach to the factory roof rack. To use the factory crossbars on your vehicle, she said you would have to use a Thule roof cargo box. I am sending a link to a page of Thule cargo boxes that will fit on your 2007 Saturn Outlook factory crossbars. I also carry some...

  • Roof Cargo Boxes That Are Compatible With 2020 Toyota Highlander Factory Roof Rack
  • If your 2020 Toyota Highlander has the factory roof rack with crossbars running left to right, then you are all set to install a cargo box. If you just have the factory flush rails running front to back, then you will need to add an aftermarket crossbar setup such as Thule WingBar # TH711300 along with Fit Kit # TH22RE and Feet # TH49SC. When choosing a cargo box, the main thing you need to look at is the crossbar spread, which is the distance from the center of one crossbar to the center...

  • Fitting Roof Cargo Box with Two Roof Bike Racks on 1997 Toyota 4Runner
  • It looks like your Yakima 2-bike rack is too long to allow a roof cargo box to fit behind it. Only possible solution would be to use two individual bike racks on either side of a smaller cargo box like this Yakima RocketBox Pro 14 # Y07192 that you referenced. This box is 33 inches wide so it would pretty easily allow bikes to fit on either side of it. Then for a roof bike rack you could use the Yakima ForkLift # Y02098 which is a similar style fork-mount rack that you currently have...

  • Availability of Silver Roof Cargo Box Similar to Yakima SkyBox Rooftop Cargo Box
  • I wish we had that exact box in silver, but it's only available to us in all black. The closest cargo boxes we offer in silver are the Thule Motion XT, part # TH629807 and the Malone Profile18S, part # MPG910. Both are silver 18 cubic foot roof boxes.

  • Rack and Cargo Carrier for 1994 Dodge Conversion Van with Fiberglass Topper
  • Some rooftop cargo boxes can be pretty heavy all on their own, such as the Thule Motion XT # TH629907 that weighs 55-lbs and the weight of the empty box still counts against the vehicle roof's overall weight capacity. So does any rack you will install in order to mount the cargo carrier. There's no sense buying a rack/carrier combination that is so heavy it leaves you little actual cargo weight capacity. So, it is a good idea to try to confirm what the van roof is rated to carry. We do...

  • Replacement Lock Options for Thule Cascade Roof Box with Broken Lock Assembly
  • The lock assembly for a Thule Cascade box is not a replacement part. The core can be replaced, but not the entire assembly according to my tech contact at Thule. So you will either need to go with a different option for a lock assembly or replace the roof box. My recommendation is to use the replacement hardware kit # SR05587. This will allow you to rivet the lock bracket in place and allow you to lock your cargo box. Another option is to use the Master Lock Contractor Grade Single-Hinged...

  • Low-Profile Rooftop Cargo Box Dimensions
  • Your specific dimension needs do present a challenge to using a rooftop cargo box on your Yakima roof rack. The specialized low-profile cargo boxes we offer appear on the linked page, and while these do get close to your low height requirement, the Inno Wedge 660 # INBRM660BK (black) and # INBRM660WH (white) are still 11-inches tall. Even if they were low enough to clear your garage door, they are too short for your skis; their internal length is 183cm. We do have ski carriers that will...

  • Low Cost Rooftop Cargo Box Alternative to Replace Thule Force
  • Although we do offer a lot of replacement parts for rooftop cargo boxes such as the Thule Force XT # TH6356B they do not offer only the top/lid portion of any of their cargo boxes as a stand-alone replacement part. We do have the Force if you want to order the same unit but if you would prefer a lower-cost cargo box to replace the Force XL we can help you with that too. For example, Trunx offers their 18-cubic-foot box # TRX34FR. This offer slightly more volume capacity than the Force...
