Excellent box, gr8 price this thing is awesome!! don’t let it’s light weight fool you. It’s sturdy and water tight. Not that much wind noise to speak of on the highway, but life is so much better with it I wish I didn’t wait so long. My advise to anyone contemplating this box/purchace….do it. You will not regret the choice, plenty of room to store anything and above all, you won’t have projectiles (skiis, boots etc.) launched thru your vehicle in case of an incident on the road. End result awesome box love it.

This is our second roof top carrier for our cross country trips, and is great. We travel very heavy and this carrier holds a ton of stuff. It is also the easiest to latch down and adjust. Worth every penny, and Amazon has the best price.

The cargo box was delivered several days earlier than expected. It was super easy to install. If you plan to install one of these, first measure the distance between your cross bars before you hoist the cargo box to the top of the vehicle. The mounting hardware inside the cargo box does adjust a little bit, but you may need to reposition your own cross bars first, as I did. Aside from that, super easy installation, was ready to use within 15 minutes. Don’t try to go through an automatic carwash with one of these on your rig or you may be sorry! (I didn’t, but met someone who forgot theirs was atop their vehicle and was told it ripped the darn thing off along with their cross bar. Not good!). The locking mechanism to the cross bars works well and the cargo box is easy to open, close and lock. I suggest you mount it to one side or the other on the top of your vehicle and not in the center position for ease of loading/unloading. No problems, no complaints, am happily satisfied with this purchase.

I’m amazed by the system to lock the box on my car tracks.
It’s easy, quick and solid, no need to remove your gloves.
Very happy with this buy.
