About Yakima RocketBox Pro 14 Compact Roof Cargo Box Carrier
Overall Feedback:
72% positive
69% praised its durability, but 31% experienced tears
I am impressed with the durability of the vehicle's soft-shell carriers as it withstood a break-in attempt.
The plastic rivets securing the hinge to the box completely popped off without warning, leaving me with a broken cargo topper.
72% found it easy to install
I found the installation process of the box on the car to be very easy. I was able to slide it onto the racks and tighten the clamps without any difficulty.
78% liked the secure storage, but 22% found it vulnerable to theft
I noticed that cargo boxes are targets for theft and someone tried to break into my car after I settled into the city.
Cargo boxes are often targeted for theft and my car was attempted to be broken into after settling into the city.
83% found it to have ample storage space, while 17% thought it was too small
I found the size of the cargo top perfect for carrying two large carry-on sized suitcases, a mid-size duffle bag, another smaller bag, a pair of hiking boots, and a pair of cowboy boots.
I was able to fit a lot of items in the carrier, including four fishing poles, a small suitcase, a totebag filled with toiletries, a laptop bag with three laptops, ten large beach towels, a tackle box, and three small boogie boards. It fit well and I did not have to force close it.
I am disappointed with the shape, size, and brackets of the box, which reduces its usable length.
75% appreciated its water-resistant feature, but 25% experienced leakage
I noticed that the vehicle-soft-shell-carrier leaked profusely after sitting overnight in a gentle rain.

I docked one star because the product was not completely waterproof when I drove through the rain in Florida.
