I don't know what the point of failure would be; I suppose the plastic base could fail across several points and rip off; but it would take a lot of pressure.
If possible, have a look at one in person, they are pretty streamlined which cut back on capacity quite a bit...but looks good and works well for us. Good luck.

Thanks so much for your reply!
I have ordered the Alpine, already installed the wingbar edge, so looking forward!
Looks amazing on picture.

How do you all access the box? Is it easy to get things in and out?

Very useful and wind noise is very bearable.

Hey do you have overall height with the box?

Also any issue going to the parking deck?

I picked the XXL and it was a good decision. 610L storage space is very nice. I can fit many things in that box.

Thanks - your post and picture were very helpful. I just picked up the L size as well (from Amazon). My reasons were three fold:

First, I don't want my family to get in the habit of carrying the entire kitchen sink for vacations (LOL). I was actually looking for something even smaller but then settled for this size.


Second: During my comparison, the positioning of the front of L is perfect that allows the air from the windscreen to flow over the box when placed appropriately since it doesn't protrude right up to or past the windscreen.

and
Three: Amazon had a used like new for around 500 bucks. When I received it, its brand new with minor packing damage. Since my order then I have seem many more "used like new" on Amazon from time to time - just have to keep an eye out for it.

Thanks again for the picture!

Decided to go with XL and so far very happy with the choice. Can’t imagine mounting an XXL by myself.
