Yakima Rocketbox Mounting Location Change for Crossbar Fit
Question:
Hello, We have an older Yakima rocketbox. The serial number is on a white sticker The predrilled holes and attachments to the crossbars are approximately 32-33 inches apart. The max distance between our Yakima timberline cross bars on a 2014 Acadia is 30 inches. Can we drill holes about 1.5 inches closer in- just in front of the factory drilled holes so that it will fit the crossbars? Thank you!

Expert Reply:
You can drill holes in your Yakama Rocketbox to give you the crossbar fit you need. You will then simply use a sealant like # LT37467 to seal the factory holes so you don't have water issues.
