Roof Mount Cargo Box that Will Not Interfere with Hatch on 2013 Nissan Rogue with Factory Roof Rack

Question:

Will the Rocketbox Pro 14 2013 Nissan Rogue with factory side rails and cross bars? I want to ensure it will mount without additional purchase and still allow use of the tailgate without interference. If I can use the antenna too, that would be great but not a deal breaker.

I checked with Yakima and the RocketBox Pro 14, # Y07192, will fit the factory roof rack on your 2013 Nissan Rouge. However, there is likely to be rear hatch interference. If you measure from the center of the front crossbar (moved all the way forward if it can be moved) to the edge of the hatch at the back of the roof and have more than 45 inches then the Pro 14 will fit without interference.

If you have less than 45 inches you will need a box that is shorter like the Vista XL, # SR7018. This box is 63 inches long so it would not interfere with the rear hatch. It should also fit without antenna interference. I have linked a video review of this box for you.
