Hi. I am looking for Thule Force roof top box for my Acura MDX 2016 with factory installed cross bars. Which size or sizes will be appropriate for this vehicle and will factory installed cross bars create any problems in installing the box? Thanks

For your 2016 Acura MDX with factory installed cross bars the Thule Force XT Rooftop Cargo Box # TH6356B is a confirmed fit and a great value. This fits as long as your two factory crossbars are spaced at least 23-5/8-inches apart from the center of one bar to the center of the other and no than 35-3/8-inches apart.

You'll want to take a look at your MDX owner's manual for the car's roof weight capacity. Keep in mind that the weight of the box itself plus your loaded cargo needs to remain within the roof's rated capacity.

Often customers using a rooftop cargo solution will also select a tire step for better access to the box. We offer # HE4040 which comes fully-assembled and simply slips over a rear tire to simplify loading and unloading. It folds for easy storage in the MDX. We also offer the fully-assembled Telesteps Folding Step # TE97FR which is lightweight and which unfolds instantly to give you a foot of extra reach for loading and unloading.
