A year ago I bought a Yakima Skybox16 from REI here in Denver.  Sunday I was test fitting on the new Clubman.  I was making sure of the fit and noise that might be associated with it before heading out on a family vacation in a few weeks.  As I placed it on top of the rack I turned the lock/latch to open it and the latch made a snapping noise and pulled out of the box, right into my hand.

Today I took the box and lock/latch down to REI for repair.  Surprisingly REI warrantied the whole box and gave me a brand spanking new one.  Way to go REI and Yakima.

Here’s a picture. New Yakima on a dirty Clubman.  I’ll most likely move the bars forward about 6″ before the trip.

    Great looking photo, can you post a larger version? Also rack are you mounting your box on to?

    I am mounting the box to a Thule rack. The foot pack I am using is the one for the Clubman’s factory roof rails. Here is a link to a photo: http://www.smugmug.com/photos/524169831_T8xbZ-M.jpg
