• Which Replacement Hinge for Yakima SkyBox 18 or 21
  So even though your Yakima SkyBox 18 #Y07336 or SkyBox21 # Y07337 has the diamond shaped hinges currently, those are an older model hinge that is no longer used by Yakima; you also won't be able to use the Replacement Front Lid Support # 8870090 since they are not the correct size for your larger box. Instead, you will want to replace both of the hinges on your box per Yakima's recommendation. You will want to use # 8880683 for the front hinge replacement and # 8880684 for the rear hinge...

• Recommended Roof Rack, Cargo Box, and Towing Setup for 2017 Honda Pilot EX L
  Congrats on the purchase of your 2017 Honda Pilot. For your roof rack, the naked roof will require the custom door clips instead of the other options you mentioned. I recommend going with the Rhino-Rack ROC25 Roof Rack for Naked Roofs - Vortex Aero Crossbars - Aluminum - Black # RR73XR which is a clean look and comes with the locks to secure the rack to your roof. The bars will be 31-1/2 inches on center so I recommend using the Thule Pulse Large Rooftop Cargo Box - 16 cu ft - Matte...

• Which Roof Cargo Box Fits Widest Crossbar Spread
  The closest options we have are the longer Yakima boxes like the Yakima SkyBox 18 Rooftop Cargo Box # Y07336 which can fit up to 42 inches in crossbar spread. If your 2013 Toyota Tacoma had a roof rack that attached to raised side rails that would allow the crossbar spread to be adjustable like the Thule # TH711400, # TH710501, and # TH145107 you could move the bars closer to allow the box to fit.

• Older Yakima RocketBox Compatibility with SKS Locks
  The Yakima RocketBox Pro 14 Rooftop Cargo Box - 14 cu ft - Black # Y07192 has the nice push button latch with SKS system you are referring to, but unfortunately there is not a retrofit for the older boxes. To lock your box, I recommend the Replacement Lock Core and Key for SportRack Explorer Cargo Box # SR03807 along with the Replacement Bottom Lock Bracket # SR00841 and Replacement Lock Locator # TH03808. This will require a slightly different mounting but will also give you the security...

• How To Open a Locked Yakima Cargo Box With No Key Number On Lock Core
  If the key number is not on the face of your lock core then it is on the side (not visible while installed). Unfortunately, there is no way to get this key number unless you remove the lock core. The sticker number that you listed will not tell use this. Therefore, you can either have a locksmith pick the lock and then use the Replacement Control Key part # Y8007835 to remove it so you can get the key number or you can drill this out and then install any matching lock core and key you want,...

• Will Yakima Skybox 18 Fit Factory Crossbars of 2017 Acura MDX
  Yakima has stated that the Skybox 18 part # Y07336 is a confirmed fit for the factory crossbars of your 2017 Acura MDX. They don't state whether it will allow your rear hatch to open but I can help you figure out if it will. If you measure from the center of your front crossbar back to the rear hatch seam and that distance is at least 57 inches the box will allow the rear hatch open.

  In order to be able to make sure your tailgate can open on your 2014 Chevrolet Tahoe with a roof box installed you will want to take a quick measurement.

As the attached chart shows, the Yakima SkyBox 16,...

• Option for Needing New Mounting Hardware for Yakima Space Case Cargo Box
  We do not offer a mounting kit that will work with the Spacecase 20 roof box you have. I spoke with my contact at Yakima and they no longer offer a replacement mounting kit for that series of roof boxes. If you wish to replace the roof box with a newer model I recommend the Yakima SkyBox 18 Rooftop Cargo Box, part # Y07336. I have confirmed this box will work with the crossbars you said you have on your Traverse roof rack. I have attached a link to a product review video you can check out.

  I checked with Yakima and your Yakima Skybox 18, # Y07336, is a fit for the factory crossbars on your 2011 Lexus RX 350. Please note that the factory roof rack on your vehicle is rated for 150 pounds so the combined weight of the box (52 pounds) and its contents cannot exceed that capacity. Consult eh vehicle owner's manual and/or Lexus to confirm the roof rack capacity. Provided that you stay within the weight capacity and mount the box according to the instructions then it will be...

  The SeaSucker Monkey Bars Roof Rack # 298-SX6000B have a 150 lb weight capacity so they can handle the weight of the 52 lb Yakima SkyBox 18 Rooftop Cargo Box # Y07336 and another 98 lbs of additional cargo. Additionally, they attach with six vacuum cups that have 210 lbs of pull strength each - the rack isn't going to go anywhere and I linked a demo video from the manufacturer which is a good display of how strong the SeaSuckers really are.

• Comparing Yakima Skybox With Thule Sonic Rooftop Cargo Box On 2016 Subaru Outback
  I'll give you a comparison of the Yakima SkyBox 18 Rooftop Cargo Box - 18 cu ft - Black Carbonite, # Y07336, and the Thule Sonic XL Rooftop Cargo Box - 17 cu ft. These roof mounted cargo boxes are more similar than different. The obvious size difference only adds inches to the overall length and height. Both carriers have the aerodynamic design with strong ABS plactic, integrated locks, and internal anchor points. They fit the same variety of crossbars with only 3/8 of an inch difference...

• Roof Cargo Box Recommendation for 2016 Mazda CX-5 with Yakim Skyline Roof Rack
  So I checked with Yakima and their Skyline roof rack on your 2016 Mazda CX-5 with a naked roof should have a crossbar spread of 43 inches. That means that the Yakima long cargo boxes like the Skybox 18 part # Y07336 will fit. This has a crossbar spread max of 42 inches, but that figure includes aero shaped bars which are much wider. Since you have round bars that means you get a bit more room on the outsides of the mounting hardware so this will fit.

• Fit of Yakima SkyBox 18 # Y07336 on 2015 Lexus GX460 With Factory Roof Rack
  According to Yakima, the Skybox 18, part # Y07336 is compatible with your factory crossbars. However, this is a pretty long box, so you'll need to take a measurement off the roof of the vehicle to ensure you'll be able to fully open the rear hatch once the cargo box is in place without the box interfering. Measure the distance from the middle of the front crossbar rearward to the seam between the roof and the top of the rear hatch. If the front crossbar is moveable, move it as far toward...

• How to Carry Cargo on Roof of 2018 Toyota 4Runner With Factory Roof Rack
  We have options for you, though I checked with Yakima as well as Thule, and they do not have any of their rooftop cargo boxes, including the Yakima SkyBox 18 # Y07336 you referenced, as a fit on a 2018 Toyota 4Runner. The reason for this is the factory crossbars of the 4Runner are very low, and the clamps used to secure these rooftop boxes may not be able to completely wrap around the bars, not allowing the cargo boxes to be fully secure to the rack. What I recommend instead is going...

  The best way to find a cargo box that will fit your 2013 Jeep Grand Cherokee is to take a measurement.

That is the clearance needed when determining if a cargo box will allow you to open up your rear hatch all the way without hitting the cargo box.

• Replacement Keys for a Yakima RocketBox Cargo Box
  You will need to look at the face of the lock on your RocketBox. There will be a number like A149. With that number I can tell you the correct replacement key. The control key, # Y8007835, is used to install or remove locks and will only work to do that if the lock is unlocked. If you did have lock A149 then the replacement key would be # Y8772-A149. The first part of the part number for any of the Yakima keys is Y8772- followed by the number, in this case A149.

• Recommended Roof Rack for 2014 Honda Pilot to Fit Yakima SkyBox 18 Cargo Box
  Going with a roof rack system that installs on the naked roof of your 2014 Honda Pilot, instead of one that attaches to OEM side rails, will definitely allow the crossbars to be positioned further up toward the front of the vehicle. Doing this, as you mentioned, will give you more clearance space when it comes to your Yakima SkyBox 18 # Y07336 and the rear hatch. Since you already have a set of 60 inch Thule WingBar Load Bars, you will just need the Evo Clamp Feet # TH710501 and the...

• Cargo Box Recommendation for a 2013 GMC Yukon XL Denali with Factory Side Rails and Crossbars
  I do have some cargo boxes that will fit but I checked with Yakima and none of the Yakima cargo boxes will fit the factory roof rack on your 2013 GMC Yukon XL Denali. But not to worry because Thule has many boxes that will fit. For a box that has more space (22 cubic feet) and is in the same neighborhood as far as price I recommend the Thule Force XT XXL, # TH6359B. I have included a link to a video review of this cargo box for you. I have also included a link to all of the Thule...

• Roof Cargo Box Recommendation for 2015 Lexus GX 460, Thule Vs. Yakima
  I checked with Thule and Yakima and both the Thule Hyper XL # TH612 and the Yakima Skybox Pro 18 part # Y07336 have been confirmed as a fit for the factory crossbars of your 2015 Lexus GX 460. Either box would work well for you, but I like the Yakima better because it has a bit more cargo storage, has a strap that makes closing the box easier when installed on a taller vehicle, and uses install hardware that is easier to get on the crossbars when installing the box. I attached review...

• Can Yakima SkyBox 18 Cargo Box Remain on Vehicle When Empty
  According to my Yakima representative, it is perfectly fine to leave the # Y07336 SkyBox 18 on the roof when it is empty. The box is rock-solid, and will not depend on any weight in it to provide stability. However, keep in mind that leaving the box on the vehicle when it is not needed will have negative effects on your fuel economy.

• Changing SKS Lock Cores on Yakima SkyBox Roof-Mounted Cargo Box
  Great question! As a convenience feature, the Skybox is designed so that the key cannot be removed while the lock is unlocked, to prevent accidentally locking the key in the cargo box. I gave Yakima a call, and was told that if the key is turned midway between the lock and unlock position, it can then be removed. At that point, you would then insert the control key and remove and replace the lock core as desired. If you have misplaced your control key you would want the part # Y8007835.
