I'm sure that hurts the structural integrity of the box, but it would make it much easier to load and would simplify the locking/lifting mechanisms. I don't care which side just make it a big cavity with a swing up door. If I were to redesign this box, keeping the general shape and dimensions, I would try to make it a side-loader. The cost to repair all of that is $30-40 after shipping. Then the rear name plate broke (this is the mounting plate for the same lid support). Our rear lid support went all wonky one summer in the hot sun and it deformed. The latching and support mechanisms take up a good bit of room.
Sometimes cargo inside the box interferes with the latching mechanism, but you get pretty good at working through those snags. Throw the box on the car, pull down on the clamps, slide the box back onto the rails, and then 20 turns for each clamp and we are good to go. It's takes me less than five minutes to pull the Rocketbox on or off. For something as long as the Rocketbox 14 (which can fit most snow skis), this is a good value, all-around roof storage solution for the Outback. If you slide the Rocketbox all the way forward, the rear hatch can open without hitting the box. This box fits the 5th generation of Subaru Outback (2015- ) with the integrated roof racks very well. I will definitely be looking at Yakima in the future to get a replacement.

Each RocketBox Pro Roof Cargo Box comes with 2 keys and detailed, illustrated installation/user instructions. It served its purpose so well and kept my things safe in the worst case scenario. Coming in at a spacious 74'L x 33'W x 16'H, and weighing 38 lbs., the RocketBox Pro 14 is the largest capacity RocketBox and perfect for CUVs, SUVs, trucks and wagons, and hauling gear for up to 3 campers. I am very satisfied with the quality of this thing, though unfortunately mine is ruined now. When the van was recovered, I was able to get into the box from the other side with my key to see my belongings still in there. They tried breaking the plastic around it but were not successful. This only disengaged the release button so there was no way of getting in. They tried getting into the Yakima Rocketbox by drilling through the lock. They stole all of the valuable electronics: battery, inverter, solar panel off the roof, stole my Dometic fridge, just utterly ripped it up and defiled it. Camp chairs, sleeping bags, backpacks, loads of climbing gear, slack line, hiking gear, and any other miscellaneous things worthy of traveling with.Ī couple weeks ago my van was stolen and the build I spent months on was destroyed inside. I can say that it was a life (and space) saver with the capacity it held and the room it allowed me to have inside the van.

I got one of these to put on top of my Ford E-350 after building it out and moving into it full time.
