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 Brian, thanks for reaching out. I can definitely recommend some parts, but we will be cutting it very close on the clearance between your roof and the garage. The roof rack itself will clear fine, but the ski carrier is the part that will be…
Hi Elliott! The Inno Shaper 80 Roof Cargo Basket - Channel Mount - Aluminum - 46-1/2" x 32-1/2" #INXA568 will definitely fit on your 2016 Honda CR-V. It fits a crossbar spread of 20" to 35", so with you having 31", you are…

The difference between the Class II and Class III hitches has to do with their Gross Trailer Weight (GTW), their Tongue Weight (TW), and their Hitch Receiver Size. Class II trailer hitch receivers have a 1-1/4 inch receiver and can be rated up to…
The Inno Shadow 15 NBRA1170CA and Inno Wedge 660 #INBRM660BK are functionally almost exactly the same, as you noted; with a weight capacity of 110 lbs, 11 cubic feet of cargo space, dual side-opening lids and Memory Mount hardware. However, there are…
Hey Randy, so this is a great question but like basically all roof top cargo boxes the Benton Shellraiser #B44FR isn't considered waterproof as that would mean it would have to keep all water out if it was submerged. It's going to do a great…
Hey Tommy, thanks for reaching out! The Benton ShellRaiser #B44FR and Thule Sidekick #TH78GC have the same interior space, but that's about all they have in common. The ShellRaiser is actually a better design due to it having dual-side access a…
Jasmine, you’re on the right track looking at this box for snow sports. The NX Skinny #Y93QD can handle skis and snowboards up to 195 cm long (~76.5 inches), so unless you’re rocking ultra-long Nordic skis, you’re golden. This is one of the longest…
Hey Matt, thanks for reaching out! Here are the internal dimensions for those cargo boxes you asked about, as well as a snapshot of the whole file that Yakima has on their website (and a link to it!) concerning box sizing: - Yakima CBX LG #Y63QD -…
Hi Robert; I don't have the instructions for the #IN94FR available but I reached out to Inno to see if they can send me the file. Their website wasn't much help either since they have "Not Available" listed under the installation…

Roof boxes are the perfect solution for expanding your vehicle's storage capacity, making them ideal for road trips, camping, and family vacations. They offer ample space for gear, are easy to install, and can withstand various weather conditions. Consider the size, compatibility with your vehicle, and the type of items you'll be storing when choosing a roof box.
Installing a roof box is generally straightforward. Most models are designed for quick setup, often taking less than 10 minutes. They typically use clamp systems or T-slot mounts for secure attachment. Ensure your vehicle has compatible crossbars, and you might need to adjust them for a perfect fit.
Consider the type and amount of gear you plan to store. Larger boxes are great for family trips, fitting tents and sleeping bags, while smaller ones are perfect for solo adventures. Check the dimensions to ensure it fits your vehicle and doesn't interfere with garage entry.
Yes, most roof boxes are designed to be weatherproof, keeping your gear dry even in rainstorms. They come with lockable systems to ensure security. Some models have features like key retention to prevent accidental unlocking while driving.
While many roof boxes can carry skis or snowboards, check the internal length to ensure it accommodates your gear. Some boxes may not fit longer skis, so measure your equipment and compare it with the box's dimensions before purchasing.
Low-profile roof boxes offer better aerodynamics, reducing wind noise and drag. They're ideal for those who frequently drive into garages, as they provide clearance without compromising storage space. They also enhance the vehicle's aesthetic with a sleek design.
