The Thule Force XT Rooftop Cargo Box - 18 cu ft - AeroSkin Black # TH6358B fits maximum crossbar dimensions of 3-1/2" wide x 1-11/16" tall and requires a crossbar spread between 23-5/8" and 35-1/2" on center. It also requires 51-1/8 inches between the front crossbar and the line where the roof and hatch meet to confirm there won't be contact with the hatch and you will have full access to your rear cargo. Thule does not confirm the fit, so I recommend taking the measurements to see if it is compatible. Thule does not give the antenna measurements, so if the antenna is above your rail height, you will want to use that as the reference point instead of the seam.

Thule does confirm the fit of their Motion XT Rooftop Cargo Box - 16 cu ft # TH629706, and the Motion XT Alpine Rooftop Cargo Box - 16 cu ft # TH629506 with your vehicle, but again that doesn't account for the radio antenna. I've attached videos to assist further.
