The Thule Force XT L Rooftop Cargo Box - 16 feet # TH6357B will fit on your Rhino-Rack RVP Roof Rack for Fixed Mounting Points # RRRVP27. If you are concerned about roof clearance, the measurement from the front crossbar to where the hatch and trunk meet should be more than 47-1/2 inches. I attached the measurement from the Thule user manual below this answer for your convenience.
