Was researching coffins for my 2019 Outback 3.6r. Had questions on fit and interference with the rear hatch. REI said it would not fit, but thanks to you taking the time to post this video I disregarded their advice - The XL fits perfect! Thank you!
Your box is a beauty.. I just bought a 2020 outback .. the ones I’m seeing look more matte finish than yours but I like the look of yours better .. thanks for posting.. answered my questions 😊
I love the design of this roof box. It suits your modern styling Subaru very well! I was thinking of outfitting my 2001 Xterra with one as well. How does it stand against highway wind and noise?
Could I know how high it gets from ground to the top? I’m considering Outback as replacement for my Accord but I drive a lot with ski box and I’m a bit afraid if I fit into garage :)
What is the height of your vehicle to the top of the bars and then to the top of the case? Also the height of your garage opening? I am dealing with a 71” tall mini van to the top of the rails and then an 83” garage opening and I am not thinking this unit will clear it.
When installing on the standard Subaru crossbars, did the knobs make the loud 'click' noise when tightening? I have the same setup and can't get the locked in 'click' even when tightening extremely tight. Thanks!
No probs - I have the 2017 outback, and looking at getting this box. I'm in Australia - can't seem to find a place online that stocks them yet. Where are you based? Where did you get yours?
Ahh REI, I wish we had that in Australia. My wife and I were living in Houston for 3 years, just came back a few months ago. Less options here for buying things unfortunately.
do you get any water in it if it rains? i am mounting it on my suv which i also use as a "camper". do you think it would rattle around at night making noise when i am sleeping in my camper with this on top? thank you!
Hi. It’s super rain-proof for me so far. Never had a sign of water inside even after driving thru heavy downpours. It shouldn’t rattle as long as you have the “claws” tight around your crossbars. Happy camping!
I think your video made up my mind. I've been debating the Yakima skybox and this rack for my 2018 fully loaded Outback. I have just one question. I've read that you might want to use locktite on the Subaru screws that come with the integrated side rails and crossbars. Did you? Have you noticed those loosening when you use the box?
I haven’t ever had an issue with the cross rails and the roof box. I’ve since gotten rid of this 2017 and now have a 2018 - really wanted Apple CarPlay 😁
What i would like to know is what it looks like NOW. 6 years later. Any videos?? All of the videos i see are of people installing them new... i see some reviews say they scratch and crack etc but literally the only videos of them crackes are physically damaged and i havent seen any showing normal scratches from wear...
I only use mine about 1-2 weeks out of the year, so I'd have to say that it looks almost as good as new. Just clean it up after each use and store it out of the way. No cracks or damage - but mine doesn't see heavy/extended use, either.
It barely fits! It actually brushes the weather strip on the top edge. I might have 1” of clearance before it hit solid material. Any taller and it would be a problem.
@@therealgrafty Thanks! I have the same car and am trying to decide between the XL and L. Think I'll go with the XL based on your video showing the tailgate clearance. Appreciate you posting this!
It is Super expense to import!! Costed almost 300% to what it is available in US n fed** eat your pocket with heavy import duties, Dont know why we cant have good stuff in India!!!
I was very nervous putting my brand new beach cruiser on this rack. th-cam.com/users/postUgkxG6JIgwJhur8_Rg8UeQ3EmePzi_wSncL8 But after reading many reviews I decided to get this one and take a chance. When arrived it was very simple to adjust and put together. I also added spike tape over the metal hooks before securing and tightening the straps, and no scratches. I also purchased the top bar made by the same company so that my cruiser sits straight on the rack without having to turn upside down. Extra bungee cords are used to secure the front wheel from flapping and even piece of mind knowing your bike is secure. Definitely recommend...

Love hearing that! Thanks for watching.
Great looking setup!
Love thule box, I got the motion Xl titan color for my highlander too.
Thanks for making this video. I've got the same car and am now buying the same box. It looks pretty slick with the color match imho
...ottimo prodotto: funzionale e bello da vedere!
Wow!! That’s what I call a perfect fit
Just beautiful. Perfect fit to your vehicle
Your box is a beauty.. I just bought a 2020 outback .. the ones I’m seeing look more matte finish than yours but I like the look of yours better .. thanks for posting.. answered my questions 😊
that matte finish is the Force box similar shape but matte finish and a different locking system
What a jolly video! Nice one. Mega.
Идеально!
Nice video I like the music
This looks great. I’m debating this vs a smaller one. Do you know what type of change in gas mileage you get with it on?
I love the design of this roof box. It suits your modern styling Subaru very well! I was thinking of outfitting my 2001 Xterra with one as well. How does it stand against highway wind and noise?
You get some wind noise, more so at high speeds (65+mph), but it's not bad at all. Thanks for watching and for the compliment!
What is your observed MPG with and without the box?
Thanks for the video. Any reason you didn't go with the XXL over XL?
Could I know how high it gets from ground to the top? I’m considering Outback as replacement for my Accord but I drive a lot with ski box and I’m a bit afraid if I fit into garage :)
Alguien sabe donde venden de estas aca en Guatemala ...?

Yes. They clicked when they become locked on tight. Assuming you have the same box, that’s how they should work.
LA CLASSE !
Awesome! So you just used the standard roof racks built into the outback - no need for the thule roof racks?
That's correct! Thanks for checking out my video.
No probs - I have the 2017 outback, and looking at getting this box. I'm in Australia - can't seem to find a place online that stocks them yet. Where are you based? Where did you get yours?
I'm just outside of Chicago. Got it at an outdoor rec store in the States called REI.
Ahh REI, I wish we had that in Australia. My wife and I were living in Houston for 3 years, just came back a few months ago. Less options here for buying things unfortunately.
Estan en valencia ????
I lost the key to mine :/ I don’t know the replacement key Number. Can someone help?
Kids feet enter. Dad motions to get out the way. haha

@@therealgrafty ...thank you very much for the reply!! take care...
Hello master,I am ready for your input.
Thule
Looks great. Did this interfere with XM radio? I'm guessing it does.
No idea if it does. I don’t use XM, but you could be right since the back of the box does sit just over the antenna.
My Yakima Skybox does.
It doesn’t interfere with my radio on 2019outback,
I think your video made up my mind. I've been debating the Yakima skybox and this rack for my 2018 fully loaded Outback. I have just one question.

Did you feel the need to purchase the Thule travel bags that fit into the cargo box?
No. I haven’t bought any travel bags. I just throw my stuff in the box and go.

Did you use the factory crossbars that came with your Outback? Or something else?
Also how have the locking mechanisms been for the box? THANKS
Yes. Factory crossbars. Haven’t had any issues with the locks or latches even after all these years.
@@therealgrafty Many thanks for your reply grafy! And more for the video
Can I use this cargo box on my skateboard ?
Quick question - any clearance issues going in and out of the garage?
It barely fits! It actually brushes the weather strip on the top edge. I might have 1” of clearance before it hit solid material. Any taller and it would be a problem.
@@therealgrafty Thanks! I have the same car and am trying to decide between the XL and L. Think I'll go with the XL based on your video showing the tailgate clearance. Appreciate you posting this!
Are those the factory stow-able roof racks?
Yes.
Does your tailgate open all the way? I have this box on my 2015 outback and have to set it to open about 3/4
Watch the entire video 😊
