This SkyBox 16s from Yakima is so loaded with features, it's hard to imagine there would be any room left over to hold your gear. In fact, it has 16 cubic feet of storage space. Couple that with all the great features and you have yourself a knockout storage system for the top of your vehicle.
The SkyBox features aerodynamic styling, engineered to reduce drag and wind noise, so it rides quietly and never becomes a distraction. The box has a flat base for easy, on-car adjustment and an undercut tail that provides generous clearance for your hatchback.
The SkyBox lid is home to the vast majority of its exciting features, including its ability to open from both sides. No matter where your box is mounted on the roof, the dual-sided opening allows for easy access. And the lid sits on spring-loaded hinges, so opening it will never be a problem.
The lid is made three times stiffer than other Yakima cargo boxes, a feature that helps to reduce vibration associated with the road and also makes opening the box easier. An easy-to-grab edge on the lid provides a better handhold for wet and cold conditions.
SkyBox boasts a top-of-the-line SuperLatch security latch on both sides of the hull. The latch ensures that the lid is securely anchored to the base and seals tight to keep the elements from infiltrating your box. Both security latches include Same Key System (SKS) Locks, which allow all your Yakima locks to be keyed alike. The key cannot be removed from the lock unless all three interior latches are secured, preventing you from driving off with an open box. Turning the key also does not open the box. To open the box, you must turn the latch.
SkyBox comes ready to go out of the factory box, with no assembly required. The box clamps to your round, square or factory crossbars with integrated clamps that adjust and tighten with a cam-action lever mounted inside the box. The lever slides along a track and is tightened and released by hand knobs.
Also inside the box is an integrated track system for mounting your gear. The track system is designed for use with the SkyBox Cargo Net (Y07146), sold separately.
SkyBox comes with a premium, scratch-resistant, black matte finish that keeps it looking great on top of your vehicle for years after purchase, and its durable, ABS plastic construction prevents the box from warping, denting or cracking.
