If you take a look at the attached photo of the Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbar System part # RRVA137B-2, part # RRRLKVA, and part # DK284 installed on a 2018 Honda CR-V you will see that the crossbars sit pretty high up above the rear shark-fin antenna. Therefore, I don't think you will run into issues with your Sears X-Cargo Sport 20 Cargo Box but we have also not yet tested this because we do not carry this cargo box. If you were to use a cargo box with built-in tracks like the Thule Pulse Large Rooftop Cargo Box part # TH615 then you could slide this all the way forward to make sure there was no issue with rear shark-fin antenna.
