Roof Cargo Box Recommendation for a Vehicle with Low Crossbars on Roof
Question:
Before purchasing the SR7018 we placed a friends unit unit on our vechile, 2010 Lexus RX 350, my wife or I could not get a hand under rails or cross bar to install the u bolts to secure the cargo box. Any suggestions?

Expert Reply:
U-bolt attachment cargo boxes can be difficult to install on vehicles that have crossbars that sit low on the roof.
A better choice would be a box like the Thule Pulse, part # TH614 that uses AcuTight mounting hardware that doesn't require you to get under the crossbar at all.
I attached a review video for this box for you to check out as well.
