Q: What Goes in a Cargo Box?

A: You can put just about anything in a cargo box that will fit. Some people get the boxes to place luggage when going on a trip.

Q: How to Pack a Rooftop Cargo Box?

A: Firstly, all boxes have load limits on how much you can put in them. It's important to check your owner's manual to find out what this is. You should also check your vehicle manual to make sure you're not loading too much weight on the roof.

Cargo boxes are meant to complement the existing storage space in your vehicle. So, if you have heavy items that will fit in your trunk or truck bed, you should always put such items in those areas first. Cargo boxes are more for lighter and awkward items.

It's also important to install your cargo box before packing it. It might seem easier to pack it on the ground and then put it on your roof, but lifting and installing a packed box is going to be a lot more difficult. Another tip is to make sure that weight is evenly distributed inside the box. Put heavy items in the middle of the box and surrounded it with lighter items.

Q: How to Store a Cargo Box?

A: When you remove your rooftop box for whatever reason, it's important to know how to store it. Always store the box in a cool, dry place that's not in direct sunlight. There are a few different ways to store your box. You can mount it flat to a wall so that it's hung up off the ground, or you can put it on its base on the ground. It's a good idea to place a couple of 2x4 pieces underneath to keep the mounting hardware off the ground.

Q: How to Clean a Cargo Box?

A: Cargo boxes can be cleaned with warm soapy water. If you want to keep your roof box from fading, then you'll want to use a solution like Polytrol to a fully washed and dried roof box. You can apply this whenever your roof box appears to be fading.
