Here is a video I took, so no editing or lighting or anything but a phone, a car, and a roof box:

Sure! Let me know when you reserve it which day you want to pick up and drop off–those are the dates you should list when reserving a box.

Extra weeks and extra days are deeply discounted and are automatically applied at check out. Occasionally we’re able to extend your reservation for you to pick up early or return past the originally selected dates.

You are welcome to pick up and drop off any time, 24/7.
Installation is available at 9:30 am and 8 pm.

Absolutely! When you reserve your box, reserve the 4th through the 12th.

Yes. The charge is automatically calculated in Checkout. 

You need to supply your own crossbars.
They can be found at the dealership or Thule.com.
Some people also order crossbars after doing a web search.
You need to have them already mounted and ready to go when you arrive to pick up your box from Roof Box Guy. Online videos are often available to learn about crossbars and how to install them. Price varies quite a lot, and Roof Box Guy’s very own Sienna crossbars were $99 from the Toyota dealership, Ford Excursion crossbars were $125 from the Ford dealership, and over $500 for the Thule setup for a Scion.

You need to supply your own crossbars, mounted and ready to go BEFORE picking up a roof box from Roof Box Guy.
The Escalade, Tahoe, Suburban, Excursion, etc., have three mounting positions for the crossbars; use the first two mounting positions.
The front mounting position for the front crossbar is near the front doors. Use the next available mounting position for the back crossbar, it will be near the rear doors. The box will not fit if the crossbars are mounted on position 1 and 3.

Crossbars can be purchased from the dealership or from Thule.com.
If you need some help, Google “(year and make and model of your vehicle) crossbars.” For example, if your vehicle is a 2022 Cadillac Escalade, Google “2022 Cadillac Escalade Crossbars.”
I only purchase OEM or Thule products. In our example, note which are sold by a GM, Chevrolet, or Cadillac dealership.
The dealership can also install crossbars if you do not want to install them yourself. We accept no responsibility for damage to any vehicle, roof box, or other due to crossbars. If we help install your crossbars, those arrangements and payment need to be made in advance. Our fee for OEM crossbar installation is $125-250, and we accept no responsibility. 
Fee for setting up aftermarket crossbars is $250-350, depending on complexity of system. We encourage you to have your crossbars installed elsewhere. 
For reference, any price under $300 is very good for crossbars. I paid over $500 for the crossbars for my bare-roof vehicle.

Pick up address for your location is included in the receipt email that is sent immediately after your reservation is placed and on our Contact page. If you do not see an email from Roof Box Guy, then please check your spam folder.

Yes! We are always buying new boxes. Please contact me if you have a box you need to sell.
If your box is broken on top, before tossing it in the recycle bin, please contact me. If we can keep good parts out of the landfill, that is a win for everyone. I am also contacted for parts from time to time, so this helps up keep others’ boxes in a serviceable condition.

Yes! We are looking for new partners!
Please send an email to discuss further.

Crossbars should be between 24″ and 36″ apart from each other. 
The space between crossbars needs to be at least 24″ and no more than 36″
