Roof Box Theft

Multi part questions about the security of the roof top luggage box i just installed on my car.

Roof box theft.

The crossbars have a rated capacity of 150 lbs. Hex wrench included to tighten the crossbar clamps. They re so unique in models colors size etc. And kayak isn t so popular so unless the thieves take it to an entirely new city to sell it back chances are you or someone you.

Googling didn t find anything. Not only can it match your trunk s storage capacity but it s a secure place to stash dirty gear as well as snow covered skis snowboards boots and helmets. Because the attachment to the roof bars is locked inside the roof box it is impossible to remove the properly closed roof box from the car. Each fully adjustable rail clamp has anti theft keyed locks.

My questions are these. I just installed a roof storage box on the car in advance of an upcoming trip. In my experience theft isn t too much of a threat considering kayaks are tricky to steal being so big difficult to transport and most of all hard to sell locally. I ve heard there are thieves who specialize in these and carry master keys.

The roof boxes are of course made of plastic so a determined thief with tools can break one open. Most cargo boxes require a roof rack system too. Most importantly a rooftop cargo box minimizes visual obstructions for the driver. The vehicle must already have oem raised roof rack rails to mount these universal fit 60 in.

Fits vehicles with raised roof rails up to 55 in. More product details close. To mount the box you don t need a thule roof rack as it can be used on all types of roof racks from any manufacturer. The cargo carrier is easy to install and it maintains the same built in lock.
