My Yakima Load Warrior basket fits fine.

 

My Yakima SkyBox 16 fit just fine on OEM crossbars. Funny thing is the guy at REI was trying to sell me on a Thule cargo box and how easy they are to install. What model Thule do you have?

 

 

I have the Thule Pulse M. with the FastGrip quick-mount system. I really like this thing since it is so easy to install and have used it in the GX470 and a previously owned Honda Pilot.

 

We don't use a box, we use THIS

 

I am looking to purchase a cargo box that can hold 2~4 snowboards that is also compatible with OEM cross bars. I have read many people are having issue with mounting mechanism scratch car roof when under load (ex Yakima SkyBox 16). Anyone has Inno brand cargo box? I really like their white version (my car is white lol). But Thule is also very nice! Any recommendation? Please keep suggestion limited to OEM cross bars. I really prefer the low profile styling. Thanks!

 

I use the Thule Motion XT L

No rubbing on the roof under load.

 

Thank you, white cargo box matched your car perfectly! I will definitely order a white one as well

 

BTW, you have a photo taken from the side of the car? Thanks

 

We have a Thule Sidekick (I think) that also mounts to the factory bars. We have had it for quite a few years though so I'm not sure if it still in production.

 

They only have it in black or grey.

Had to get it painted

The only side picture i have.

Not really great in quality lol

 

 

I think some had problems w/ the Skybox feet contacting the roof w/ the factory crossbars. There is no good Yakima foot/crossbar option for the factory rails unfortunately. I tried RailGrab which use to be recommended but they sucked. I ended up swapping my rails for Prado 150 and using Yakima Lowrider feet.
