The replacement handle we offer for Yakima Skybox rooftop cargo boxes is Replacement SuperLatch Handle part # Y8880348 which is compatible with their cargo boxes produced from 2009 to the present. If your Skybox is older than that there is no longer a replacement handle kit. This is the correct part for the current version of the SkyBox 18, part # Y07336 that you referenced.

If you decide to get a new cargo box and you want a cost-effective option with high capacity please consider the Trunx Rooftop Cargo Box - 18 cu ft # TRX34FR which offers the same internal volume capacity as the Skybox 18 but at a fraction of the cost. It weighs only 29-lbs (the Skybox 18 weighs 52-lbs) and the Trunx box is USA-made.
