Features:
- Engineered with a specialized dimple-textured Carbonite lid matrix that mimics aerodynamic surfaces to significantly lower high-speed wind resistance, damp highway whistling, and protect your vehicle's fuel economy (MPG).
- Features an incredibly practical dual-sided opening layout that lets you load, organize, or unload your outdoor equipment safely from whichever side of the vehicle is closest to the curb or campsite trail.
- Employs Yakima's signature high-security SuperLatch™ interface, a specialized safety mechanism that physically captures and holds onto your key until the lid is completely and uniformly locked to the bottom base.
- Reinforced with structural internal lid stiffener panels combined with heavy-duty metal support bars inside the base, adding structural rigidity to stop the box from warping or wobbling under highway wind loads.
- Backed by Yakima's Limited Lifetime Manufacturer Warranty

The Yakima SkyBox 16 Carbonite is a roomy rooftop cargo box that shines for camping, ski trips, family travel, and hauling gear without stuffing the car. Long-term use sounds solid, with boxes holding up for years and retaining value well. It also helps keep cargo protected from sun damage and can free up space for dogs or bulky luggage. The main caveats are that crossbars are sold separately, roof height clearance matters, and loading is easier with two people.
Common Questions (5)
Yes. The added cargo space is useful for camping, ski trips, and family travel, especially when a vehicle is already packed with kids, dogs, or luggage. It can keep the cabin from being stuffed to the roof.
It can hold up for many years; one box has lasted over 15 years with only occasional use, and another has been used 5-8 weekends a year for nearly a decade. It also tends to retain value well, which helps offset the purchase price.
No. The crossbars are a separate purchase, so you need compatible roof bars already installed before mounting the box.
One person can lift and mount it, but two people make it much easier. The underside latches need to be in the correct open position before lifting, and the lid must be fully closed for the key to release.
It can. Height clearance needs to be considered once it is mounted, especially for garages and parking structures, even though it is useful for protecting cargo from sun damage when stored indoors.
