Question:
We purchased the TH868, 13 cubic feet of storage if that also makes a difference in the cargo box. Our Acadia is a 2012. It is a leased vehicle however. We also have a 2007 GMC Yukon Denali. Im wondering if the cargo boxes are universal with GMC vehicles? Thank you again so much! I called the GMC dealership and even they couldnt answer my question.

Vehicle manufacturers do not recommend placing any cargo directly on sunroofs. The glass was not designed to support additional weight.
A better option for you would be to add crossbars to your factory side rails and use a roof basket and a cargo bag or a roof mounted cargo box. This would keep the load off of the sunroof and allow you to carry more weight.
Based on your photo, it appears that you have a GMC Acadia. There are different roof rack options depending on the year of your Acadia, so if you would like to send me the year, I will be happy to give you all of your roof rack options.
