    Thank you Jared, when i bought my outback it came with one. I didn't know how to take it off. With the weather here in Wyoming going to be -25 I need to park it in garage but would not fit with the box on top. 😀 Thanks again!

    Man this is an awesome video. I also have a sorento and looking if i should go for a roof rack or this. I already have the yakima swing base with the basket. This gave me confidence that this is easy enough to install with little time. Thank you so much!

      Glad yours didn't leak, but mine filled with water sitting in my driveway during a storm.

    • @JaredDesrosiers
      @JaredDesrosiers  3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      That's unfortunate. I wonder how the water got in? I also drove through a lot of heavy rains and storms along the entire east coast without any leaks.

      Looks like the latest ones are leaking through the rivet points.

    Very professional review. Could you advise what vehicle you are using to mount this (wanted to ensure it does not overlook the windshield if I purchase this).

    • @JaredDesrosiers
      @JaredDesrosiers  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Thank you. I’m using it on a 2019 Kia Sorento and it fits perfectly.

    I just install but I feel like shaking when I driving in the highway maybe because I got empty inside the box that’s why shaking alot

    • @JaredDesrosiers
      @JaredDesrosiers  2 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      That is possible. However, double-check to verify that everything is tight - the clamps to the roof rack rails and the door latch on each side must be secured fully. Also make sure the box is facing straight on and not diagonal.

    Would one be able to fit their kayak racks and the box on a Subaru outback?

      Unfortunately, there would not be enough room for both.

    I noticed those clamps rub against the roof until secured, have they marred the paint at all ?

    Would the inside fit solar panels 20"x30" with the clamping system already there?

    • @JaredDesrosiers
      @JaredDesrosiers  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      I think you could probably get them secured with tie downs

  • @ZZ_90

    Whenever you locked the latches in place, was there any sort of movement from the box on your rails?

    • @JaredDesrosiers
      @JaredDesrosiers  2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      No, I haven't had any movement along the rails. You just need to make sure to tighten the clamps properly when mounting the box. After that, they hold securely.
