Hi Neils!

That is going to depend on the car wash. If it's a no/zero touch style automated car wash, then you will be perfectly fine leaving the Inno Box 320 Rooftop Cargo Box # IN94FR on your roof. If it's one that has the big wheels of spinning dealies that whips/scrubs all the gunk off or those flaps that get pulled over your vehicle, you are going to want to remove it. And actually the roof rack as well, for that matter.

Those things can and will grab onto any exposed right angles or other snag points and can rip things off of vehicles pretty easily. I have never seen it happen in person, but I have seen pictures and it's rather extravagantly catastrophic. Roof boxes are big things that you don't want to go launching like a torpedo off the roof of a car (which could actually be what inspired so many sci-fi shows and movies to use roof boxes as torpedoes and other things).

What are you planning on keeping up in the roof box? And actually, what vehicle are you wanting to put this on?
