Will Yakima RocketBox Pro 14 Cargo Box Fit a 2013 Subaru XV Crosstrek without Hatch Interference

Question:

I have a 2013 subaru crosstrek with the factory crossbars. Will the Yakima rocketbox 14 fit on top of my car without getting in the way of the hatch? Thanks.

Because the Yakima RocketBox Pro 14, # Y07192, is a relatively short box, 74 inches long, it is likely it will fit your 2013 Subaru XV Crosstrek without hatch interference. But to be absolutely sure there is one measurement you will need to take.

First, if the crossbars on the vehicle can be moved, move the front bar as far forward as possible. Then measure from the center of the bar straight back to the seam between the rear hatch and the roof. If that measurement is greater than 45 inches, the box will fit without hatch interference.
