Good points

Good Points

  • Very easy to install to the roof bars; the lid can be opened from both sides to get access to four lever type clamps that have to be tightened from the inside of the box.
  • Excellent lock/lid opening access; there are hinge mechanisms and locks on both sides of the box so it can be opened from the passenger side which is safe when trying to get access to the contents on a busy roads, for instance.
Bad points

Bad Points
