Expert Reply:
According to Yakima, the Skybox 18, part # Y07336 is compatible with your factory crossbars. However, this is a pretty long box, so you'll need to take a measurement off the roof of the vehicle to ensure you'll be able to fully open the rear hatch once the cargo box is in place without the box interfering.
Measure the distance from the middle of the front crossbar rearward to the seam between the roof and the top of the rear hatch. If the front crossbar is moveable, move it as far toward the front of the vehicle as you can. In order for the box not to interfere with the rear hatch, this distance must be at least 57 inches. If your measurement is less, your hatch will hit the rear of your box before it's fully open.
If you find you wont have enough clearance, the SkyBox NX 16, part # Y95AV would need less clearance, at 47 inches.
To safely access your roof top cargo, you might also be interested in a tire step, like part # HE4040.
