Will SportRack Aero XL or Vista Cargo Boxes Fit a 2013 Ford Escape with Factory Roof Rack
Question:
Will the Sportrack Aero 1300 cargo box fit on my 2013 Ford Escape with factory cross bars and what about the antenna that is in the middle of the roof by the back hatch?

Expert Reply:
The SportRack Aero cargo box has been replaced with the Vista box, # SR7018. But on the Aero box, it is designed to fit crossbars no wider than 4 inches and with a center to center distance between the bars of 24 to 34 inches. You will need to measure the crossbars on your 2013 Ford Escape to determine if they are within these measurements.
The Vista box will also fit crossbars no wider than 4 inches but the bar spread would have to be between 23-5/8 and 34 inches apart on center.
Regarding the center antenna both boxes are about 63 inches long and are not likely going to interfere with the antenna. If you can move the crossbars on the roof forward and move the feet in the cargo box to the rear most position, this would make the box further forward on the roof and make it more likely to clear the antenna.
