Question:

With Replacement Lid Support for Yakima Cargo Boxes can we still open the box on both side? I’ve got the skybox 16 carbonite!

Expert Reply:

Yes, the Replacement Lid Support for Yakima Cargo Boxes # 8880683 will absolutely still allow you to open your Yakima SkyBox 16 Roof Cargo Box on both sides.

I confirmed with Yakima that this support is the correct front and rear replacement support for your SkyBox 16.
