Look in the Fit List or Fit My Car online to see if the SkyBox/RocketBox boxes are options in the list of accessories for your vehicle.Ī: Different vehicles have different capacities. A cargo box is far too expensive to ship back for repairs, which Yakima didn't even offer (no cargo box is guaranteed to be waterproof). My Showcase leaks at the plastic rivets and is substantially more expensive than the SkyBox. We have also redesigned the mounting hardware to fit a variety of different crossbar shapes. I recommend the SkyBox over the Showcase. Light weight is important because the lighter the box is, the more weight you can put into it because vehicles can only support so much weight on the roof.Ī: We have done extensive testing on factory racks to see which ones are strong enough to handle a luggage box. We love its sleek, easy-to-use handle, matte black finish, and sturdy construction. This cargo box scored well across most of our tests and only had a few noticeable flaws. We use ABS instead of fiberglass because it is lighter and less expensive, while still being really strong (=maximum value). Our Verdict The Yakima SkyBox 16 Carbonite holds its own with the top models, all while costing quite a bit less. ![]()
