• Economical Roof Rack to Put a Roof Box on a 2012 Subaru Legacy
• In order to carry the cargo box on the roof of your 2012 Subaru Legacy you will need a roof rack like the SportRack Roof Rack # SR1010.

• Compatibility of Fitting Two Cargo Boxes on a Yakima Roof Rack
• Mounting two cargo boxes on your rack will depend if you have enough room to fit more than one roof cargo box on your vehicle's roof. Both boxes will have to be secured to both crossbars and fit the width of your roof rack. Many of the cargo boxes that we carry have widths that are lager than half the width of your crossbars. Most will not fit side by side on a roof rack. However, the Sport Rack Horizon Rooftop Cargo Box # SR7011 is one of the smaller width roof boxes that we carry.This...

• Using the Moon Roof on a Limited Edition 2013 Hyundai Santa Fe with a Roof Rack or Roof Box
• Any roof rack will impact the performance and usability of a sun or moon roof. Using a roof box like the Malone 18B Profile, part # MPG911 will create more difficulties because of its clamps. I don't recommend using the sun roof or moon roof with a roof rack or roof box equipped.

• 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.

• Why Do I See Roof Rack Cargo Boxes Mounted to One Side on Large SUVs
• Yes, it is perfectly fine to center a cargo box, like the SportRack Vista XL Box, # SR7018, on the roof of your vehicle. The reason that you see most large sport utility vehicles and trucks with the box moved to one side is that it makes installation, removal and loading much easier because of the wide roof these vehicles have. Mounting a cargo box in the center allows for easier entry to the box from either side of the vehicle, if the box you choose opens from either side. If you...

• Recommended Cargo Roof Box For 2017 Hyundai Tucson With Roof Antenna
• I called my contact at Thule and they said that the roof boxes up to 17-cu ft will work on your 2017 Tucson and will not interfere with the antenna on your roof.

This is a 13-cu ft box that measures 73-inches long x 34-1/2-inches wide x 16-inches tall. It requires a crossbar spread of 23-5/8 inches to 35-1/2 inches so you do have...

• Can SportRack Semi-Custom Roof Rack On 2011 Ford Edge Handle A Roof Cargo Box
• A roof rack like part # SR1010 can be used to carry a roof cargo box. It is a semi-custom roof rack that has a 90-lb weight capacity when installed on your Edge. The weight of the cargo carrier and any cargo is considered in this capacity.

• Roof Rack and Cargo Box Recommendation for a 2013 Hyundai Sonata
• The SportRack SkyLine XL Cargo Box SR7095 that you referenced will require you have a roof rack with crossbars installed. However, it would not be compatible with the crossbar spreads that are available on the roof racks that are confirmed to fit your vehicle. You would need to use a different box.

• Which Roof Location Offers the Least Wind Resistance When Installing Yakima Roof Cargo Box # Y07195
• For the least amount of wind resistance, I would recommend installing a roof cargo box towards the rear of the vehicle. The only problem with moving the cargo box towards the rear on a minivan is you will want to make sure that the cargo box will not get in the way of the rear hatch when it is opened. So you will need to attach the cargo box to your crossbars and adjust the location on your roof by moving the cargo box forwards or backwards to the best location on your vehicle, before tightening...
