Yakima 8007178 Review by C. Martino (Middlesex, NJ United States)
In September of 2010 my wife and I welcomed twins into our home. Our (paid off) 2002 Jeep Liberty instantly became too small to transport our family and all it's required items. For the price of a car payment we were able to save ourselves from having to buy a new car. Installation was a breeze (under 30 minutes) and this cargo box can hold a ton! We broke it out for the first time this past weekend for a short road trip and it performed wonderfully! We were able to get the legs and motor of a Fisher Price Cradle n Swing, My Little Lamb, a Fisher-Price Rainforest Bouncer, a Fisher-Price Rainforest Melodies and Lights Deluxe Gym, a Fisher-Price Rainforest Jumperoo, a changing pad, and a Bumbo Baby Seat, Blue with a tray all in the Skybox. Everything packed in the Skybox arrived safe and sound and in the exact same spot I put it in. On the car the Skybox made little to no discernible noise (it was windy out during our trip there and back, so it's hard to tell if it was noise from the wind or from the Skybox). Overall we a extremely pleased with the product and are looking forward to it's continued use!
Yakima 8007178 Review by Dennis G., Holliday (Oregon)
took a long maiden trip through heavy, heavy, heavy rain and it came through like a champ. No moisture in the box at all.
what I don't like is the hinge opening. its fallen apart twice. It is not a permanent break but it is annoying.
Yakima 8007178 Review by Alpinexplorer
I have purchased two Yakima Skyboxes with mixed results. In general they do a good job of providing additional storage capacity for a variety of uses. My primary complaint is cracking of the plastic box. Both boxes I have purchased started cracking within the first year of use. I contacted Yakima regarding warranty service and they suggested repairing with ABS Cement. They would not warrant their product. For the significant investment required to purchase one of these products I certainly would expect better product life and associated warranty. It's too bad that Yakima can't make these boxes tougher as they would be a truly great product. The cracking however is totally unacceptable and along with the lack of warranty replacement is the basis of my two-star rating.

Yakima 8007178::Description
Family camping trips can be a little cramped, as even the smallest tents, sleeping bags, and backpacks take up a ton of space in the car--and that doesn't account for the coolers, camping chairs, canopies, and family dog. Enter the Yakima SkyBox 16 rooftop cargo box, which stores a bunch of your gear in a single, out-of-the-way location. Designed to fit crossbar spreads as short as 24 inches, the SkyBox 16 includes quick-installation mounting hardware that accommodates round, square, and most factory crossbars. More importantly, the SkyBox 16 offers 16 cubic feet of storage space despite its short profile, so you don't have to cram everything in the trunk or back seat. Thanks to the drag-minimizing aerodynamic shape, the cargo box won't dramatically boost your gas consumption on long road trips. Other details include an extra-stiff lid that vibrates less than other cargo boxes and is easier to open and shut with one hand; an integrated track system for such accessories as a cargo net or base pad; a new lid shape that's easier to grip; an improved security latch that keeps your stuff safe; and a matte anti-scratch finish. Also equipped with SKS locks, the SkyBox 16 measures 81 by 36 by 15 inches (L x W x H).
