Video Transcript for Inno Wedge 660 Rooftop Cargo Box Review

Speaker 1: Today, we're going to be taking a look at the INNO Wedge 660 Roof Top Cargo Box part number INBRM660WH. This is the gloss white color. This also comes in black as part number INBRM660BK.This INNO Wedge Cargo Box is a box that serves many functions. This can carry six to eight skis, four to six snow boards or up to two surf boards. You can also put your camping gear in here, as well as your luggage. It helps free up space to the inside of your vehicle where there isn't very much left, and it also serves the function especially with the skis and camping gear, to keep everything out from the inside of the vehicle that may be dirty or scuff up the inside once you're finished using it.You can gain access to your gear with easy by simply unlocking it and once it's in the unlocked position, the keys can't be removed and this reduces the possibility of losing the keys or locking them inside the box.

You just push the button on the side and open it up. With the box in the open position, we have 11 cubic feet of space to work with on the inside with interior dimensions of 72 inches long, by twenty-five and five-eights inches wide by eight an a half inches tall. You can see even with the three sets of skis that we have in here, we still have plenty of space for a bag, a helmet, the poles, anything else that you need to put inside.Keep everything in place and keep it from shifting around, there are two straps to hold everything to place with these buckles. We also have hooks up on the inside of the lid to hold these open while we load them in so we don't have to wrestle around with keeping the straps up underneath and tying them down. Now right now we have everything situated on the passenger side but this does have a dual opening option meaning you can push this over towards the other side of the car and have it set up there and open up on that side as well.The box itself has a nice sleek design and had an aerodynamic shape to it which is going to help cut down wind noise and drag while you drive.

And as you can see, we didn't have to remove our antenna at the back either because of how it curves up like that. A lot of boxes just have a straight ending here and we would of had to remove this. Also we didn't have to worry about clearance as far as our rear hatch is concerned as there's more than enough space in between the box and the hatch.We gone ahead and removed the contents that we had inside the box here to show off the Memory Mount. This is what pretty much sets it apart from the other roof boxes on the market right now. They're very easy to use.

You simply lift open the handle here and it comes right out. It clamps around your existing roof rack system when you close it like so and with this gray dial you can adjust for each type of roof rack system that you may have. So pretty much, once you have this set for your roof rack system, you never have to reset this again and you can just put this back on, close up the clamp and you're ready to go. Most others you have to manually time it down until you hear those clicks and that could take a little time for each time you put it on your roof rack.These are adjustable back and forth at the front and rear clamps to adjust for different cross bar spread widths. The cross bar spread can be between 24 inches and 39 inches.

While this does clamp around our existing roof rack system, you can purchase separately, a piece that enables you to attach this to the inner tracks of your aero bar, this is part number INBRP12. Again that is sold separately and you can find that on etrailer.com.To give you an idea of length, so to make sure you don't make contact with your rear hatch, having the box with the mounts pushed all the up towards the front and as back as far as it can go, from the center of the front cross bar to the rear of the box is going to be 57 inches. The lip of the box is made from a three layer ABS plastic which makes it strong and durable and resistant to UV rays, scratches or dents. It also has this high gloss finish which gives it a nice finished look. And because of the three layer ABS plastic construction, this actually makes it lighter than most other boxes.The exterior of the dimensions of the box is going to be 80 inches long by 33 inches wide but 11 inches tall. And this box does have a carrying capacity of 110 pounds. But you always want to double check the new vehicle's manual to make sure your roof can take those weights.In comparing this with other products, one that comes up is going to be the Yakima RocketBox Pro Roof Top Cargo Box also with 11 cubic feet of space to work with, part number Y07193. Both these boxes has a lot of similarities but we're going focus in on the differences.Some of the bigger differences between these two is going to be the general shape of the boxes. With the INNO, is a little bit thicker meaning you can't put as many accessories added on to the bars on either side of it once it's installed. With the Yakima RocketBox however, it's much slimmer so you can fit maybe a bike rack or many two bike racks on the other side of it once it's installed. The connection points differ as well.With the Yakima RocketBox, the connections are already built into the box once its installed and you time it down accordingly. But with the INNO's Memory Mounts, it's set for the particular roof rack that's on your vehicle so you don't have to tighten it down each time.Now that we've gone over some of the features of this cargo box, lets go ahead and show you how it installs. Now you can do this on your own and lift it up to your roof but it can kind of cumbersome so for the purpose of the video to make this a little bit easier on myself, I'm going to have an extra set of hands help me lift this onto the roof. We'll set it on our roof rack here. We'll slide it into place and then we'll make sure it's sitting straight at the front then we'll start attaching our hooks, our clamps that go around our roof rack.So first step is we're going to take our keys to open up our box, put in the unlock position, push our button which will open it up on the passenger side. Now we can get our Memory Mount really to be installed. We'll make sure that they're in the open position and that our clamps are in the open position as well. Set them on the inside track here and so they go around a roof rack. Now we can go to our gray nob and start timing it down around our bar. All right. With that done, we can repeat this process for our other Memory Mounts.Next we'll install our straps onto our Memory Mounts. We'll unbuckle the buckle, but it through our loops here and it can open back up. Once that's done, we can install our strap hooks up on the top part our our lid. With the strap hooks, they have a piece of adhesive on the back to stick it to the roof of the box. Today we substituted and just taped it up into place as this is going to be a permanent install. And for demonstration purposes, you can put this on either side. How the strap works, you unhook the regular strap at the base and you take it and put it into the hook itself while the other half of the buckle hangs out side the box. And now we can set our stuff on the inside and start loading our gear.Once we get all of our items set inside our box, we can bring the straps down and tighten them up. So buckle them up and chinch down the strap. This is going to help keep them in place and not shift around back and forth. With any excess, we can go ahead and tie that off if need be or tuck it underneath. Once everything's loaded up and you see we still have plenty of space for our bags or helmets. We can close up our box, lock it up and now we're ready to hit the road.And there you have it for the INNO Wedge 660 Roof Top Cargo Box, part number INBRM660WH.
