The box has a consistent high profile, allowing for the storage of larger items that can not be compressed. It is compatible with most rack configurations including: all SportRack roof rack systems, square, round and most factory racks. The box is constructed of durable high-density plastic that keeps moisture out, and provides resistance to impact strikes, and UV rays. Review: Well Worth It, Even with the Cons - Update: I just returned from a 1100 mile camping trip and the SportRack performed perfectly. Held solid during 80mph highway cruising, rough dirt roads and the occasional tight turn. Contents stayed perfectly dry in the heavy Northwest American rain, with no noticeable wind drag or noise. Even with 100lbs of cargo loaded, my Subaru Outback did not feel top-heavy around corners (which is probably more of a characteristic of the car and not the SportRack). Negligible effect on fuel consumption. It was much easier to remove from my roof than to attach, after the trip. Bumped it up to 5 stars from 3, for price and solid performance. My Subaru has a moon roof so I was able to simply look up and see the effect of wind of the SportRack as I drove - and it had negligible vibration (with a little to be expected because of the plastic construction). The SportRack held: 1 huge 5 person tent 2 folding camping chairs 1 pop-up shade tent 2 sleeping bags 1 throw blanket 1 folding metal table (small, rolls up) 2 umbrellas 3 regular pillows ----------------------------------------- Good value for the price. Very tricky to install the hinges and certainly requires two people, particularly since the plastic is so flexible (flimsy?). But after it is put together and locked closed, it feels much more solid. The pictures in the printed manual are very tiny, so I recommend downloading the PDF version so the images can be ZOOMED in to see even the smallest screw perfectly. They created the PDF in vector, so the lines are nice and sharp no matter how much you zoom in. I had my laptop handy while I assembled this unit. PROs: Solid once assembled and locked shut. Low price for a large amount of cargo space. CONs: When the lid is opened (in the hot sun) it just flops and warps to nearly being closed. Practically the rigidity of rubber. I had to prop it open with a piece of wood. I'm wondering how long it will take for the plastic to crack because of this. Very difficult to install the driver's side U-bolts, climbing on the cars roof was needed, particularly since the plastic lid is so flimsy. I'm considering re-installing with my own hardware with the nobs accessible on the outside, otherwise it's a giant pain to take on and off for other items like kayaks. Also, the plastic front and rear latches seem very brittle for such an important part (that keeps the lid closed while driving), so I bought a spare set ($10) for peace of mind. Just a thought: I wonder if spraying the inside of the top section with truck-bed liner would stiffen it up. It could certainly make it more durable. But for the price, you can't beat the size of the storage space. Review: Box Pops Open While Driving Through High Wind Area And Broken - I wouldn't recommend this cargo box if you are planning to drive through high wind area (such as highway through the midwest desert) or if you don't have time and energy to patiently install it. I bought this box because it's low priced and is very large; I plan to only use it for big family vacation, so it's perfect for me. The installation took me a few hours because even though it's very simple to install, the bolts provided are extremely tight fitting (almost doesnt fit); no exaggeration, you will sweat a lot. Forget about using screwdriver, it will shear the head; i had to use wrench, clamp it on both sides and turn. The bolts need to get in all the way even if you think you can't turn it any further because otherwise the hinges will move somewhat and then the top won't stay open. The first problem i found is with the key where it won't lock. I had to jump in the box, close it up, and found that the key housing hole was drilled too far down. I had to readjust the key bracket so the arm will reach and lock. The box was installed a week before our trip; it has travelled in-town highways every day without any problem. The biggest problem came on the first day of our trip; we were driving on an insterstate and had strong head wind, the box pop open while driving. We found that all the lock mechanisms were still intact and in the lock position, so that means the box body flexed enough that the key arm slipped open while in the LOCK position! The top was bent due to this but can be straighten out enough so it will relock. A few hours later, it opened the second time but this time the back latch assembly torn apart due to the wind force and we weren'tt able to relock the box as the top has bent enough that it doesnt line up with the base properly. We were lucky that we brought some duck tapes and towing rope, with a little "mac-gyver-ness" we were able to reach our hotel with the box still on the roof. The next day we had to ask the hotel to dispose the box because the box has flexed enough that is now wobbly while driving and without proper lock on the box it's useless and just a hazard to continue with it. Now i have told you my experience and headache with this cargo box, you decide if you want to buy it. Pros: Cheap. Large enough to practically fit an adult in it. Surprisingly no noticable wind noise. Cons: It's flimsy. Cant withstand strong head wind. Lock construction is very weak. Extremely hard and time consuming to assemble. ## Features - Made of high-density material for added stability - Passenger side opening for access away from traffic - Easy to attach and remove from the vehicle - Includes locks to secure contents in the box - U-bolt mounting hardware kit is included for the installation of the Skyline XL cargo box on most vehicles with factory installed or aftermarket roof racks rated at 150 lbs - SIGNIFICANT ASSEMBLY REQUIRED. - Please check the fit for your vehicle in the fit guide located in the Product Details area. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B09LXW5JR7 | | Automotive Fit Type | Universal Fit | | Best Sellers Rank | #1,698,274 in Automotive ( See Top 100 in Automotive ) #301 in Vehicle Hard-Shell Carriers | | Brand | SportRack | | Brand Name | SportRack | | Color | Black | | Customer Reviews | 3.5 out of 5 stars 404 Reviews | | Included Components | Cargo Box | | Item Dimensions L x W x H | 55"L x 41"W x 14"H | | Item Type Name | Cargo Box | | Manufacturer | Thule | | Manufacturer Part Number | SR7096 | | Manufacturer Warranty Description | Limited Lifetime | | Material | Plastic | | Material Type | Plastic | | Model Number | SR7096 | | Mounting Type | Roof Mount | | Product Dimensions | 55"L x 41"W x 14"H | | Shell Type | Hard | | UPC | 770527994075 | | Volume | 17 Cubic Feet | | Water Resistance Level | Water Resistant | ## Product Details - **Brand:** SportRack - **Color:** Black - **Material:** Plastic - **Product Dimensions:** 55"L x 41"W x 14"H - **Water Resistance Level:** Water Resistant ## Images ![SportRack Skyline XL Cargo Box - Assembly Required - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71HtP200srL.jpg) ![SportRack Skyline XL Cargo Box - Assembly Required - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61h-Tai1eLL.jpg) ![SportRack Skyline XL Cargo Box - Assembly Required - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71ae+aw0+kL.jpg) ![SportRack Skyline XL Cargo Box - Assembly Required - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71iQapefrkL.jpg) ![SportRack Skyline XL Cargo Box - Assembly Required - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71JnFFeqNsL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: What is the measurement from side to side between the mounting holes?

The box it came in was huge. I really wasn't prepared for the size, despite knowing the dimensions. This thing is huge and holds more than the trunk of my Pontiac Grand Prix. It took about 45 minutes to assemble. I mounted it to the roof rack of a 2005 Pontiac Vibe (using GM utility bars) and it fits great. It is a bit flimsy. I've never dealt with a cargo box before, so maybe that normal...and I'm sure if I wasn't complaining about it being flimsy, I would be complaining it was too heavy. The box is very light and easy to get on and off the car (while remaining attached to the removable utility bars). Back to flimsy...when open for more than a few minutes, the hot Arizona sun causes the top grey part to sag at the hinge points and fold down "closing" the box (the reason why I didn't give it 5 stars). It has room to fit my luggage set (31", 28", & 24" suitcases) with a little room to spare. When loaded, sometimes it's a bit tricky to lock...but it always locked solid. I drove and was parked in several Monsoon downpours and the inside of the box stayed dry. I was a bit paranoid about something awful happening, but once mounted and latched shut it's great. I drove almost 1000 miles with it on without a single problem. A flying rock (or maybe it was a bird) hit it at 60MPH and bounced off the roof. There was a small gouge in the box and a dent and chip in the roof. So despite the "flimsy" charge, this box is actually quite durable. I was curious about a gas mileage decrease, so I tested it only with my spare tire in it. The change in MPG was negligible. Maybe 1 MPG. That said, it does take a noticeable hit when going over 70MPH (negated by simply following a high-profile vehicle)...but your mileage may vary. I picked it because it was big, yet short enough fit my vehicle's goofy roof rack...AND because it was about the cheapest option I could find. The pros outweigh the very few cons for me and I'd recommend it... EDIT: 8/2/2014 I just got though with an 1100 mile trip with this box and again it was awesome! There are a few details I left out (or got wrong) on my original review. First, the change in MPG. This last trip was a duplicate of one I took last year before I had the box. I averaged 35.7 MPG without the box, and 29.7 MPG with the box (THAT'S 6 MPG LESS!). So my statement of the MPG change being negligible is WRONG. That's still better MPG (loaded, with cargo box) than SUVs and minivans get (empty). Also, on the first-gen Pontiac Vibe, DO NOT USE GM UTILITY BARS P/N 12495663. The bars are listed as being compatible with the Vibe, but they don't slide all the way forward...so the liftgate will not open all the way with the box mounted. Use GM P/N 12498684. Also, the Vibe's roof rack was obviously a Pontiac afterthought in the design. The rack is lower in the back than in the front. As a result, the rear of the box needs to be shimmed up in order to be level. I used two wooden yardsticks, but I might add a third next year to see if MPG improves. Finally, the antenna CAN stay mounted when using the utility bars. There's enough room under the box for the flexible mast to be bent down and stick out the back. The rear hatch touches the antenna when it opens, but it doesn't hurt anything. ## Frequently Bought Together - SportRack Skyline XL Cargo Box - Assembly Required - Bike Rack Straps, 4-Pack Trilancer Adjustable Bike Wheel Stabilizer Strap with Hook and Loop for Car and Wall Mount, for Transportation and Storage (26'' x 1.5'') --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pl/products/421244860-sportrack-skyline-xl-cargo-box-assembly-required](https://www.desertcart.pl/products/421244860-sportrack-skyline-xl-cargo-box-assembly-required) --- *Product available on Desertcart Poland* *Store origin: PL* *Last updated: 2026-05-14*
