• Recommended Roof Top Cargo Basket for a 2012 Toyota Corolla S
  I would be happy to Richard and welcome back! To add a cargo basket to your Corolla's roof, I recommend the Yakima LoadWarrior item # Y07070. This cargo basket measures 44" Long x 39" Wide and has a 140 lbs capacity. The Yakima LoadWarrior item # Y07070 comes with four clamps that will tightly secure the basket to your roof rack. They are going to provide a clean grip around your Yakima BaseLine Crossbars item # Y93PB to ensure a stable base for securing your gear. Your Yakima BaseLine...

• Roof Box for 185cm Skis That Fits MOS UpLift Roof Rack Lift Assist
  Hello again Tom; for a roof box that can handle those skis I recommend the Yakima SkyBox NX Skinny Rooftop Cargo Box # Y93QD. This box has a max ski length of 195 cm and measures 84" long x 26-1/2" wide x 16" tall. I have had a chance to use a lot of different roof box brands, and the Yakima SkyBox NX has been the easiest to use and my favorite model. Did you pick up the MOS UpLift # MR39ZV yet? I know we talked about it recently. This roof box is right at the limit of what it can hold....

• Do Yakima Roof Cargo Boxes Have Weight Capacities
  Hey Denny, Yakima cargo boxes like the part # Y63QD, # Y73QD, # Y93QD, and # Y43QD don't have stated weight capacities which means as long as you stay under the weight capacity of the vehicle's roof rack you'll be fine. Worth mentioning is that Yakima roof racks are rated for 165 lbs so if you wanted a hard number I would go with that.

• What is the Hatch Clearance for the Yakima SkyBox NX Skinny Rooftop Cargo Box?
  Hello Scott, I was finding the information a bit confusing myself, so I reached out to my friend at Yakima. She was able to verify that the Yakima SkyBox NX Skinny Rooftop Cargo Box - 12 cu ft - Black Carbonite # Y93QD needs 50" to clear the hatch (please refer to the attached image). The 57" measurement is for the older model. What are you planning to use the cargo box for? Big upcoming trip, or maybe making room to bring all the presents home?

  Jasmine, you’re on the right track looking at this box for snow sports.

• Can I Use Long And Skinyy Yakima SkyBox NX Y93QD On 2021 Subaru Outback With OEM Rack?
  Great question, Dave! The SkyBox NX Skinny 12 cu ft - Black Carbonite # Y93QD will work with your Outback’s factory crossbar spread, and the box will mount up just fine. It is a bit long at 84", but the Outbacks have enough clearance to fully open the hatch. Yakima also confirms compatibility with this box and vehicle. If you want to be 100% sure, measure from the center of your front crossbar to the seam where your hatch meets the roof. If that measurement is 57 inches or more, you’re...

• Can I Fit Yakima SkyBox NX Skinny Along With Kayak Carrier On Roof Rack?
  You bet, Alan. That’s exactly the kind of versatility the Yakima SkyBox NX Skinny Rooftop Cargo Box (Black Carbonite) # Y93QD is designed for. Since its only 26-1/2inch wide, it leaves enough room on most standard crossbars like a 54inch or 60inch bar to carry a kayak rack alongside it. We’ve seen setups where customers pair it with the Yakima JayLow Kayak Carrier # Y04073. Just make sure your crossbars and roof have enough total weight capacity for both the box and your kayak. The Skinny’s...

• Can I Leave Yakima SkyBox NX Cargo Box On My Car's Roof Year Round?
  You can, Marco, but it’s not ideal long-term. While the Yakima SkyBox NX Skinny Cargo Box # Y93QD is weather-resistant and made from tough ABS plastic with a scratch-resistant finish, constant sun and UV can age it faster than necessary. If you need to leave it up for the season, we suggest using a rooftop box cover like # TH69PS or parking under cover when possible. And when not in use, store it in a garage or basement to extend its life. A set of wall hooks or a ceiling hoist works...

• Can Yakima SkyBox NX Skinny Cargo Box Be Installed With One Person?
  Brian, at 41 lbs, the NX Skinny Roof Box # Y93QD is light enough for many folks to install solo, especially on a mid-height vehicle like your RAV4. That said, because of the 84 inch length, it can be a little unwieldy to lift and center alone. A second set of hands makes it much easier, but if you're going solo, a folding step stool and a soft blanket over the roof can help protect your paint as you slide it into place. Once its on the bars, tool-free clamps make the rest of the install...

• What Is The Weight Limit Of Yakima Roof Top Cargo Boxes Like NX Skinny Y93QD?
  Great question, Nicole! The Yakima SkyBox NX Skinny Rooftop Cargo Box # Y93QD itself can hold plenty of weight, but here’s the catch: your vehicle and roof rack system will be the limiting factor. Most factory racks top out around 120–150 lbs total, including the weight of the box (41 lbs in this case). So you might have 60–100 lbs of usable cargo weight, depending on your setup. Check your owners manual for your vehicle’s roof weight limit. It’s better to stay well under that limit,...

• Will Yakima SkyBox NX Skinny Cargo Box Clear Sharkfin Antenna On 2020 Honda CRV?
  That’s a common concern, Shauna, especially with today’s OEM roof rack designs. The good news is the NX Skinny # Y93QD has a slightly raised base that often clears low-profile antennas like the one on your CR-V. If your crossbars are adjustable, slide them forward as much as possible to give your hatch and antenna extra space. Bonus tip: because the box is narrow, you can shift it slightly to one side during install, which also helps with clearance. One way to really know is to measure...

• Looking For A Roof Rack And Cargo Box Recommendation For My 2019 Toyota Camry Hybrid
  Hey Audrick, A cross country road trip is exciting! I just came back from one of my own. For your 2019 Camry that roof rack you mentioned will in fact fit it, but in my opinion there is a better option out there. I recommend the Yakima # Y46XB. This roof rack uses the aero style bar, which in every case is going to be quieter than a round or square bar. Highway noise is a big things with roof racks, and that is why I love these. Aero bars typically allow cargo boxes to attach easier than...

• Is Mounting Hardware And Locks Included With Yakima SkyBox NX Skinny?
  Everything you need is in the box, Cory. The SkyBox NX Skinny # Y93QD comes fully equipped with mounting clamps (no tools required), two keys for the dual-side locking system, and integrated anchor points inside for tying down your gear. If you want to match your key with other Yakima gear, you can swap out the SKS lock cores using a control key and new core set sold separately. But out of the box, you’re totally good to go. What vehicle are you putting this on?
