Yakima SkyBox Compatibility for 2008 Mazda CX9 with Fixed Point Aerobars
Question:
I have a 2008 Mazda CX-9 with fixed-point aerobars that have a 42" spread. Will any of the Yakima Skybox carriers work with that crossbar spread?

Expert Reply:
There are some great options for Yakima SkyBox cargo boxes, but not all of them will fit your 2008 Mazda CX-9. For example, the Yakima SkyBox Lo Rooftop Cargo Box # Y07338 will fit your vehicle because it has a crossbar spread of 24" - 42", whereas the Yakima SkyBox NX 16 Roof Cargo Box # Y95AV will not because it has a crossbar spread of only 24" - 36". The crossbar spread is listed on each product page, but here's a list of the SkyBox models available for your 42" crossbar spread:
- Yakima SkyBox 21 Rooftop Cargo Box # Y07337
- Yakima SkyBox 18 Rooftop Cargo Box # Y07336
- Yakima SkyBox 12 Rooftop Cargo Box # Y07334
