3:58 The locking mechanism has a torque setting which gives a sound click once it's reached and doesn't tighten any longer

I'm pretty sure the locking mechanisms have a torque limiter that lets you know exactly how tight to make them. That way you don't have to worry about over tightening them, because you can't lol. Great video!!

Awesome video. Very helpful.

Great vid! IMHO general best practice is to not center mount it, but to have it aligned to one of the sides. I tend to put on driver side so it is easy for me to immediately get to it when I park. We use mostly for skiing, so either side works (no street side issues). But passenger side would make sense if you are going to load/unload on a street. Make sure it is aligned straight so you aren't bending it into a crosswind as you drive.

I was thinking of getting this one as it will offer me the best overhead clearance in my parkade. I was curious, though, I need it just to carry a few odds and ends for camping, to free up space in the vehicle. Will the molded shapes (intended for skiis, I guess) be problematic...in the sense of giving less usable space? I guess by extension I'm also curious what is the "height" between the tops fo the molded parts to the top of the lid? Thanks!

@@DIYwithMichaelBorders thanks for taking the time to reply! I guess I was thinking about more bulky items? In my case I'm thinking things like folding chairs and tent which I think would fit, but what about something in a box? I realize there isn't a lot of height to this particular cargo box, which is why I'm wondering if it loses more interior space due to the molded area in the bottom.. Unfortunately this is the only one I think will work for me (for parking clearance).

Younare not tighting the claw enough. There is a torque clic that you will hear when they reach enough torque

does it have to be in the center? i have a full size SUV, it would be hard to get stuff if the box is in the center. i feel the box lean to the passenger side makes more sense but then i dont want the extra cause the car imbalance.

i like the design.. I wonder if tightening the claws on the roof rack rail will cause scratches or damage to the roof rack rail? I suppose a piece of tough rubber could be applied around the rail to protect the roof rack rail? Do you think there is a way to attach one to an Arcimoto? (see: "Arcimoto 3-wheel EV commuter blends bikes' fun + cars' safety" kzread.info/dash/bejne/nH1ps9ysYsKsf5c.html )

In my opinion pick a side. Centered is not the best. You don’t want to be opening both sides just open one side closest to you and you’ll be able to reach across cause it’s not too far away.
