Yakima Skybox16 | Clubman
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
