I went out to the warehouse and checked on the Sport Rack Vista XL Cargo Box, item # SR7018, the length of the box is 63 inches long. The box will mount on cross bars that are between 24 and 34 inches apart. So you will need to do some measuring to determine if your roof mounted antenna can be retained while using the cargo box.

Install the first cross bar as far forward on the vehicle roof as possible. Then measure from the center of the cross bar back to the antenna on the vehicle. If this measurement is over 47 inches then the # SR7018 carrier will work on the roof of your vehicle with the antenna in place.

The manufacturers of our roof cargo boxes all state that the roof mounted antenna may need to be removed to prevent interference with long loads, boxes and roof cargo carriers.

You may also want to consider the Tire Mount Wheel Step, item # PT68ZR, to make loading and unloading the roof mounted box easier.
