Great question, Jerry!
The Benton ShellRaiser Rooftop Cargo Box # B44FR does not come fully assembled, but the assembly itself is pretty straightforward. I've done this myself and the only part I really got hung up on was connecting the struts to the lid. I felt like they needed to be seated further on the ball joint but it ended up being easier than I thought because it didn't have to sit as far.
Attached is a photo of all of the pieces laid out for your reference.

Hey Jerry, how did the assembly go with your Benton ShellRaiser cargo box? Were the struts as easy to connect as expected once you got started? Your update could make it easier for the next person putting theirs together.
