weather proof and anti-theft box is your go-to 💯

Super hot, then why the black box ? make them white and insulated like a cool box man.

Great info, Especially where to put snacks, etc. Check with Yakima they would appreciate having their name pronounced correctly.

Do you guys have a maintenance video? My latches on my Yakima cargo carrier don't release and latch as easy as they used to, wondering how to maintain.

[m.g.]

How does one replace the waterproofing/ weatherstrip on the inside of the lid ? Yakima Rocketbox yrb 41614.
The water is bouncing off the roof and flooding the inside!!

If you put a tent in the roofbox, would the wax waterproofing melt off?

Are Yakima roof top cargo boxes considered water proof? I like the idea of keeping lightweight, bulky items like tent, sleeping mats and sleeping bags up top, but I would be concerned about getting them wet.

[m.g.]

I had a 12 cu. box that NEVER leaked... now the bigger one does?! It's 7ft. by 2 ft. and leaks like a sieve!!!
I can see glue from some weatherstrip, but can't seem to find a replacement!

Would the duffel bags and luggage fit into the alpine version? I don’t have a lot of room clearance in my garage door so I would like to keep a low height profile.

Can a checked luggage fit inside these rooftop cargo?

Some pretty good tips, thanks. Does anyone know what kind of water container he has stored in the back of the car next to the cooler? ( The green round pail type container )
