Today we are going to take a look at the Yakima RocketBox 16 with hand knob mounts part number Y07148. The RocketBox features slick, aerodynamic styling that cuts down on wind noise and helps to keep the drag down. The roof boxes are a great way to add extra storage space to your vehicle and are perfect for soft luggage like duffel bags. The RocketBox ships completely assembled ready for quick installation. The RocketBox opens from the passenger side and it features the Yakima SKS locking system. The SKS locks are interchangeable so that you can match all of your locks on all of your Yakima accessories. The lock on the RocketBox also prevents the key from being removed unless the box is locked properly. This is to help ensure that you do not accidentally lock the keys inside the box. 00:49
The hinges on the RocketBox are spring assisted to help make the lid easier to open. Inside you will see the knobs for adjusting the clamps underneath. The red knob opens and closes the clamp. The smaller black knob is what loosens the clamp assembly and lets it slide along the track to accommodate for different crossbar spreads. Now we are going to need to mount it on top of the vehicle. The RocketBox 16 requires the crossbar spread between 30 and 36 inches. We have our crossbars set up 33 inches from the center of the crossbar to the center of the rear. Next we will open the box and adjust the clamps to make sure they are seated on the crossbars and tighten them down. Repeat the same process and tighten the rest of the clamps. Once the clamps are slid into position and tightened down you are ready to start loading the box. There you have it the Yakima RocketBox 16 cargo box part number Y07148. The RocketBox line from Yakima is also available in two other sizes, an 11 cubic foot size part number Y07149, and a 15 cubic foot size part number Y07147.

Ask the Experts about this Yakima Roof Cargo Carrier
Do you have a question about this Roof Cargo Carrier?
- Is the Yakima RocketBox 15 Roof Top Cargo Box Water Proof and Will it Mount to a 2006 GMC Envoy
- I spoke with my contact at Yakima about whether or not the RocketBox 15, # Y07147 is water proof. She stated that none of the Yakima cargo boxes are water proof, but they are weather resistant. This means that if you have something that cannot get wet, you would need to put it in something that is water proof first, before loading it in the carrier.
This cargo box has clamps that hold on to the cross bars that run side to side on top of your 2006 GMC Envoy. It is made to fit as many factory r

- Roof Rack, Cargo Basket , and Cargo Bag that Will Fit on a 1985 Chevy El Camino
- The first step is to install a roof rack if you do not already have one on your 1985 Chevy El Camino. The roof rack system we have for your vehicle is by Yakima. But there is a slight problem. The RocketBox 15s, # Y07147, fits crossbar spreads between 24 inches and 36 inches. The maximum bar spacing for a roof rack on your vehicle is 14 inches; much too narrow for cargo boxes.
But you could put on the Yakima BasketCase Roof Rack Cargo Carrier, # Y07012, and use a smaller cargo bag like the R

- Which is the Smallest Roof Mounted Cargo Box that will Fit 2010 Infinit EX35 with Factory Crossbars
- The Yakima Rocket Box 15s needs a cross bar spread between 24 and 36 inches, so if your cross bars are not adjustable, you will not be able to use this box.
According to the Yakima Fit Guide, it will fit, so that tells me that you probably have adjustable cross bars. However, auto manufacturers are known to do odd things, so I would double check.
The Rocket Box 15s is the smallest box Yakima produces that they list as a fit for your vehicle.

The RocketBox is 38 inches wide, so it will just fit (the mounting locations are actually further in so there is more space than it would seem).

If your 2011 Dodge Journey has just the factory installed side rails that run from front to back you will need to use the Yakima RailGrab Towers, part # Y00138, and the Yakima Round 48 Inch Cross Bars, part # Y00408.

If your Equinox has side rails that run front to back, then you would first need to add cross bars before you could mount the box. You would need Yakima RailGrab Towers for Flat and Raised Side Rails (QTY 4) , # Y00138, and CrossBars, # Y00408. You could then mount the box.
