thats a weird shaped box!

boi222 · 03-06-2021, 09:11 PM

How many bags can you fit in it?

Hey linkiat, thanks for sharing. Looking at the Vector or Motion for mine so this is helpful.

What kind of crossbars are you using?

TTR · 07-20-2021, 02:42 PM

looks super weird

V8MAN · 07-20-2021, 02:52 PM

Thanks for sharing, this is helpful as this looks to have much less space than I would have thought! It is very sleek and aero, but seems pretty limited...

I'm using generic ones found on eBay! Holding up well after 4 months!

Most of the boxes are 17" in height and internally around 14" thereabouts.
This box is about 14" external and around 11-12" internal. I could fit quite a lot of stuff in there. Eg. 3 duffel bags, 20" wide and 12" tall went in ok.

Reason why I chose this was I could leave the box on the car and drive straight into the garage. With the box it's 6'10". So goes into my 7' garage nicely.

Bring your cross bars forward.

There is actually a small indentation on the car rails to tell where the cross bars should go

Something about it makes it look like it isn't sitting right. As mentioned above, move the cross bars forward and it'll change the look and make it more secure.

Maybe for the BMW crossbars but the manual says follow instruction for installation. Thule has their own recommendations for bar placement

I had that same box on my previous vehicle. Kinda looks funny but it’s really good quality. Went through winter and also Arizona triple digit heat
