I have the Skybox Carbonite 21. Will he replacement supports 8880683 and 8880684 work? And will the lid open from both sides?

@JustinL The Yakima SkyBox 21 Carbonite did open from both sides and the front hinge # 8880684 and rear hinge # 8880683 are direct replacements for it. With that said, it will indeed open from both side! How did your hinges break? Or are they just not working very well anymore?

Yakima has rolled over their part numbers since that answer and replaced it with two hinges that work with all of their cargo boxes. For your Skybox 16, you'll just need two of part #8880683.

So even though your Yakima SkyBox 18 #Y07336 or SkyBox21 #Y07337 has the diamond shaped hinges currently, those are an older model hinge that is no longer used by Yakima; you also won't be able to use the Replacement Front Lid Support 8870090…

Answer 7

Yes, the Replacement Front Lid Support #8880684 and Replacement Rear Lid Support #8880683 will still allow your Yakima SkyBox 21 to open from either side. These are a more durable support than the diamond style with the multiple arms like you have.

Hello Christina, thanks for getting in touch. Yakima did chance their hinge design and it has been a good while since this change. The current ones are the "single arm" style like the #8880683 you were looking at. It can be tricky when…
