Question:

Hi, I would like to understand if I will be able to open my rear liftgate if I install a Yakima RocketBox 14 Y07192 on my 2015 Toyota Highlander. My plan would be to also by the Yakima JetStream crossbars Y00425 and necessary accessories to mount the box. Thanks in advance for your input.

First let's get you a roof rack system! I also like the Yakima Jetstream Bars # Y00425. If you have flush rails on your 2015 Toyota Highlander then you'll need the SkyLine Towers # Y53TR and the Landing Pad 16 # Y00242. If you have a naked roof, still grab the Jetstream bars along with the BaseLine Towers # Y28TR and the BaseClip Fit Kit # Y06130.

You won't have any issues with opening the rear hatch. If you take a look at the video attached, the RocketBox has plenty of room on a 2012 Highlander and it will be about the same for the 2015 model.
