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…

Hey John, the Yakima SkyBox NX 18 Rooftop Cargo Box #Y45AV that you referenced is compatible with round bars and aero shaped bars. The mounting hardware can clamp on to either bar shape and work really well. I attached a picture down below that shows…

In these days of customer "no service" I am usually disapointed when doing business with people I don't know. It was refreshing doing business with you. I'm impressed!

Roof Boxes for quiet, low-profile cargo
Pack bulky gear up top without crowding the cabin. Low-profile options fit skis and help with garage clearance while keeping wind noise down, and many install easily on aero bars, OEM racks, or even platform-style racks. Check hatch and roof fin clearance, crossbar size, and whether you want dual-side access or a T-slot mount for oversized bars.
Yes, some boxes mount on platform-style racks and can fit larger bars. If the standard clamps don't fit your bars, swapping to a T-slot mounting kit can solve it. Check your bar size and whether your box offers T-slot hardware to match the rack's channel.
Low-profile boxes on aero crossbars can be very quiet at interstate speeds. Proper placement and snug mounts help minimize wind noise. Expect some hit to gas mileage on the interstate; shifting more weight toward the front of the box has helped significantly. Keep gear secured so it doesn't shift.
Installation can be easy with tool-free clamp systems. Position the box on your crossbars, set the clamps, and tighten evenly. Dual-side locking adds convenience for loading. If the lock feels finicky, make sure the lid is fully closed and the internal links are engaged before turning the key to help the mechanism work smoothly.
It can, with the right box length and bar setup. If you're worried about a roof fin, choose bars that let you position the box for clearance. Through-style crossbars give you more usable bar space; flush-style bars are sleeker and a little quieter. Mount the box so it doesn't interfere with the hatch when opened.
