Cargo boxes, bags, and baskets are great for transporting gear on your vehicle's roof. A cargo box has the added benefits of an aerodynamic shape that reduces drag and wind noise, a hard shell to protect your gear, and a higher degree of weather resistance. And you can latch and lock a cargo box for added protection against theft.
Aerodynamic Cargo Box with Gloss Black Finish
With 18 cu ft of space, the Malone Profile18B has enough room for sports equipment, camping gear, or luggage for 3 to 4 people. The aerodynamic design helps reduce wind noise and drag. The locking lid opens from the passenger or driver side, and it's designed to provide clearance when you open your rear hatch. Quick-attach clamps accommodate most crossbar styles and spreads so you can install the box in minutes without tools. And the durable yet lightweight ABS plastic construction helps to prevent warping, denting, or cracking.
Sturdy, Dual-Side-Opening Lid
The Profile18B lid opens from both sides for easy access to your cargo. This means your gear is always close at hand whether you mount the box closer to the driver or passenger side. The extra-stiff lid helps reduce road noise and vibration, and it guards against dents and scratches. Built-in gas strut hinges make it easier to open and close the lid, and also help to keep the lid open while loading and unloading.
Built-In Lock
The box includes a built-in lock on both sides to secure your gear. The locks also deter theft of the box itself because it denies access to the mounting hardware. The key can only be removed once it is in the locked position, ensuring the box is securely locked and safe for transportation. 3 locking points on both sides keep the lid secure when locked.
Universal Clamp-On Mounting Hardware
The Profile18B installs with inward-facing quick-attach mounting clamps. These clamps fit most crossbar styles, and they are inserted into the slots along the floor of the box to accommodate different crossbar spreads. To adjust a clamp, loosen the knobs and move the clamp to the desired location. Then tighten the knobs down to close the clamp around your crossbar.

Reviewing this after 18 months or so because in that time I have NEVER seen another one of these on the road, despite living in the roof box capital of the world (Denver) and I think it looks better than the majority of boxes I see, save the newer Thules. The price has gone up since I purchased, but I still think it's good value. Great roof box option at a fraction of the price of Thule/Yakima, plus it looks sleek and the shiny finish looks great. I frequently use this for cargo storage / skis and snowboards across 3 different vehicles and bars (Jeep Renegade on Yakima Aerobars, VW Golf on OEM square bars, Subaru Forester on OEM bars) and it's great. Easy to take on and off and always feels secure. I've fit ski's up to 190cm in it carefully at an angle - my buddy's 196cm skis wouldn't fit without bending. I will say that, as with probably any other roof box, you need to be careful of the locks fully engaging and not being blocked. I've had issues getting the box re-opened once locked if something inside is pushed up against one of the 3 lock points. 608450

I’m ultra-pleased with my Malone Profile18b cargo box! I scoured the internet researching these things. I think I looked at every large capacity model around 18 cu ft for my Nissan Armada. There’s lots of good ones out there to choose from. I almost bought a Thule Motion XT, but I decided to go with this Malone cargo box because it had the specs I was looking for at a much better price (18 cu ft for under $xx.xx!). After examining it closely, it seems to be fantastic quality, fit and finish it great, and functions perfectly. It opens and locks from both sides—and new for this year, it has an awesome new 1-click dial attach system that installs and removes easily and holds strong. Also, It’s one of the BEST LOOKING rooftop cargo boxes out there. The Italian shape and glossy black finish looks very high-end. For the money, you can’t beat this box. If you’re considering a rooftop cargo box, don’t hesitate on getting this Malone. 907551

Ask the Experts about this Malone Roof Box
- Quality Comparison Between Thule XT Roof Cargo Boxes and Malone Cargo BoxesWhen it comes to overall quality, design, and ease of use you really can't beat Thule cargo boxes like the Motion XT part # TH629806 or the Force XT part # TH6358B. Thule has been making cargo boxes for a very long time and over the years they've kept raising the bar for how nice the boxes can be. They are expensive for sure, but they are the best you can get. The Malone Profile18B Rooftop Cargo Box # MPG911 is a solid value for a solid box, but at this point you already spending quite...
view full answer... - Recommended Waterproof Storage for Boat Roof I have a solution for you, but there are a number of different reasons that a cargo box is not going to work on that roof. To start, all of the boxes that would allow you to have 40" space between the cross bars are going to be extremely long; the Yakima SkyBox 21 # Y07337 will accommodate up to 42" crossbar spacing, but is 92" long and 36" wide. All of the boxes available that are short enough and narrow enough that are able to fit in that space require between roughly 24" and 35-3/8",...

The good news is, there are cargo boxes of a higher quality and similar price whose manufacturers have confirmed will fit the factory crossbars on your '13 Outback. The best option among these is the Thule Motion XT Rooftop Cargo Box # TH629706 because it is supremely...

- Will Malone Profile18B Rooftop Cargo Box Fit Malone MegaSport TrailerYes the Malone Profile18B Rooftop Cargo Box # MPG911 that you referenced will fit the top tier of all of the Malone MegaSport 2 tier trailers like the part # MPG550-TU. This is an easy to use and secure roof cargo box that costs less than similar options so its a great option. I attached a review video for more info on this for you to check out as well.

The external dimension of the box are 78-3/4" long x 32-3/8" wide x 15-3/4" tall. The box weighs 35 lbs and can support up to 165 lbs of gear through you will need to check your vehicle's roof weight capacity for compatibility. As long as the crossbars on your 2015 Volkswagen Jetta are between 24" to 36" apart and the crossbars are of a standard size then the above box should provide just...
view full answer... - Will Two 33" x 29" x 12" Boxes Fit Inside the Malone Profile18B Cargo BoxIt would be a tight fit but based on the dimensions of the Malone cargo box # MPG911 and your 33 x 29 x 12 inch boxes I believe you could get them to fit in the box. Another option is to use a roof basket, # Y07080-82, and a cargo net, # C18201. A basket will be easier to store since it won't take up as much space. A box though can be locked so there are advantages to either option.
view full answer... - What Crossbar Spread Distance Between Bars Does Malone Cargo Box MPG911 FitThe Malone cargo box part # MPG911 can fit on crossbar spreads of 24-36 inches like what you mentioned. This means that if you measure from crossbar center to crossbar center on your roof rack and that dimension is between 24 and 36 inches this box will fit and work well.
view full answer... - Will the Malone Profile18B Roof Cargo Box Fit on a 2017 Jeep RenegadeWe haven't had the chance to test fit the Malone Profile18B, part # MPG911, on a 2017 Jeep Renegade as of yet but it's designed to fit most factory roof racks so that shouldn't be an issue for you. The only issue you may run into is whether you can open the rear hatch without making contact with the roof box. If you measure from the center of your rear crossbar to the seem where the roof meets the rear hatch on your Renegade you can find out. The Profile18B needs at least 21 inches...
view full answer... - Lenght of Skis to Fit Inside Malone Profile18 Rooftop Cargo BoxI reached out to my contacat at Malone and the Profile 18 cargo box, part # MPG911, does measure 78-3/4 inches for an exterior length so it only holds skis up to 195 cm. In some cases it may be possible to get 205 cm skis in the box if they can be angled but this wouldn't leave much room for any other cargo.
view full answer... - Using the Moon Roof on a Limited Edition 2013 Hyundai Santa Fe with a Roof Rack or Roof BoxAny roof rack will impact the performance and usability of a sun or moon roof. Using a roof box like the Malone 18B Profile, part # MPG911 will create more difficulties because of its clamps. I don't recommend using the sun roof or moon roof with a roof rack or roof box equipped.
view full answer... - Will Malone Profile 18B Rooftop Cargo Box Fit Factory Roof Rack on 2013 Hyundai Santa FeThe Malone Profile18B Rooftop Cargo Box # MPG911 referenced in your question will work perfectly on your 2013 Hyundai Santa Fe factory roof rack as long as it has a crossbar spread of 24 to 36 inches. This simply refers to the distance from the center of one crossbar to the center of the other. As long as this dimension is between 24 and 36 inches the box will mount without issue to the roof rack. The width and length of the crossbars themselves will not be an issue. One other measurement...

This cargo box is compatible with crossbar spreads ranging from 24" to 36" and will allow the rear hatch to open if there is at least 21" between the rear crossbar and the edge of your roof....
view full answer... - Malone Profile18B Rooftop Cargo Box Fit Factory Crossbars of 2017 Hyundai Santa FeYes, the Malone roof cargo box # MPG911 will fit your 2017 Hyundai Santa Fe with factory crossbars that are spread 36 inches apart. Most factory crossbars are bowed like yours and the cargo boxes are designed to accommodate that so this box will work just fine.

The spread on your factory roof rack I believe is the same as the aftermarket options at 31.5 inches on center. If this is the case, the Vista XL will not be compatible. For a roof box with that similar capacity and the mounting location compatibility, you may be interested in the Malone Profile18B Rooftop Cargo Box - 18 cu ft - Black...
view full answer... - Comparing Roof Rack Cargo Boxes Malone Profile 18b and Sportrack Horizon Both of the cargo boxes you mentioned are solid choices but I would recommend the Malone Profile 18b part # MPG911 over the SportRack Horizon # SR7017 if for no other reason the mounting hardware. The Malone hardware is MUCH easier to use as it's a simpler clamp design whereas the Sportrack requires you to mess with u-bolts which are much harder to deal with.

They will both however work just fine with a rooftop cargo box like the Malone Profile18B Rooftop Cargo Box part # MPG911. The only time you would want to go with the longer option is if you were using the roof rack to transport multiple water-sport...

view full answer... - Comparing Thule Motion XT XL and Malone Profile18B Rooftop Cargo BoxWhat creates wind noise is mostly the crossbars on your vehicle and both the Thule Motion XT XL and Yakima ShowCase are highly aerodynamic and streamlined so the best way to choose between these two rooftop cargo boxes is by their respective features. The Malone Profile18B Rooftop Cargo Box # MPG911, has 18 cubic feet of carrying capacity and fits crossbars that have a spread between 24" and 36". It is a quality cargo box but I recommend going with the Thule Motion XT XL # TH629806 because...

- Recommended Roof Box for 2018 Volvo XC60We have a large selection of roof cargo boxes that will work well on your 2018 Volvo XC60. The specific color you choose will really be a matter of personal preference but I like the look of a glossy black box like the Thule Motion XT # TH629906 or the more economically priced Malone # MPG911 on your Volvo. The box you choose will also depend on how much space you are needing for cargo. The Thule Motion XT will provide 22 cubic feet of space while the Malone Box will give you 18 cubic feet...

This is because this particular cargo box only works with a crossbar spread of 21-1/2 inches, which refers to the distance between the 2 crossbars on center. Mounting this box on a rack with a different spread would require you to drill new holes into the bottom...

The Malone Profile18B Rooftop Cargo Box # MPG911 will also fit and allow the rear hatch to open as well. Dimensions are 63" long x 38" wide x 19" tall for the Sportrack and 78-3/4" long x 32-3/8" wide x 15-3/4" tall for the Malone.
