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.

I enjoyed the looks I got while driving it around yesterday. :)
