FAQs

Do I need to buy roof bars separately?

Yes, this roof box requires a set of roof bars to be fitted to your vehicle. The included U-bolt fixings are designed to attach to these bars.

What is the maximum weight capacity?

The roof box has a maximum load capacity of 65kg. Always check your vehicle's manual for its specific roof load limit, as this may be lower than the box's capacity.

How do I clean the carbon fibre finish?

Clean the exterior using a soft cloth with mild soap and water. Avoid using abrasive chemicals or materials that could scratch the finish.

What are the dimensions of the roof box?

The dimensions are approximately 169cm (Length) x 79cm (Width) x 38cm (Height).

Can this roof box be opened from both sides?

No, this model features a single opening access, typically on one side (check product specifics for left or right opening).

What is the weight of the roof box itself?

The roof box weighs 15.3kg.

Is the central locking system theft-proof?

The central locking system is designed to deter theft, providing a secure closure. However, no lock is entirely theft-proof.

Troubleshooting

Roof box won't lock securely.

Ensure all items inside are positioned correctly and not obstructing the lid. Check that the U-bolts are not interfering with the closing mechanism. Clean and lubricate the lock cylinders.

Difficulty fitting U-bolts to roof bars.

Verify that your roof bars are not wider than 80mm. Ensure the U-bolts are correctly oriented for your specific roof bar profile.

Excessive wind noise.

Check that the roof box is positioned centrally on the roof bars and that all fixings are tightened evenly. Ensure the lid is fully closed and locked.

Water ingress after washing or rain.

Inspect the lid seal for damage or debris. Ensure the lid is closing properly and the locking mechanism is fully engaged. Contact customer support if the issue persists.

Pros and Cons

Aerodynamic design with a stylish carbon fibre finish.

Cons

Requires separate purchase of roof bars.

Weight of the roof box itself (15.3kg) reduces total load capacity.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

Ensure you have a compatible set of roof bars already fitted to your vehicle. The U-bolt fixings are designed to accommodate bars up to 80mm in width.
Position the roof box onto the roof bars and align the U-bolt holes.
Insert the U-bolts through the roof box base and over the roof bars.
Secure the U-bolts with the provided washers and nuts. Tighten them firmly but avoid over-tightening.
Test the central locking system and ensure the lid closes and latches securely.

Compatibility:

Requires a set of vehicle-specific roof bars. Please check compatibility with your vehicle's make and model.
U-bolt fixings are suitable for roof bars with a maximum width of 80mm.

Care:

Clean the exterior with mild soap and water using a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
Ensure the locking mechanism is kept clean and lubricated periodically.
Regularly check that all fixings remain tight, especially after long journeys.
Store the roof box in a clean, dry place when not in use.
