Roof boxes/Roof racks are both tools for capacity expansion. Which one is better?

Roof Box

Advantages:Luggage will not fall due to wind and bumps; Luggage will not get wet in rainy days;

Luggage locks are not easy to lose.

Disadvantages: Expensive and fuel-consuming; disassembly and assembly are troublesome, not

suitable for car owners with limited hands-on ability; there are only so many things that can be

installed in limited space; after disassembly, it takes up a lot of space, and it is not recommended

to buy if the home location is not large; the trouble of limited height (Most underground garages

have a height limit of about 2 meters).

Roof Racks

Advantages: low price; easy to install; does not occupy space after disassembly; can hold more luggage.

Cons: Not waterproof; not anti-theft; luggage can fall off due to bumps. Summary: It is enough to choose

a luggage rack with a low budget and infrequent travel; it is better to choose a luggage when you have a

high budget and often go out.

What should I pay attention to when installing the roof box and after installing it?

1. The roof box should be installed in the middle of the roof rack, so that the subsequent load-bearing weight

distribution is more even, and the driving will not be disturbed!

2. The installation of the roof box should not be too forward or too backward. Make sure that the hood or the

trunk door will not be pushed to the roof box when opened.

as the picture shows:

3. The roof box should be installed parallel to the road, which can reduce wind resistance and wind noise!

4. After installing the roof box, remember to check whether the roof box is reliable. It will be very dangerous if the roof box is loose!
