Hi everyone,
First post. We just took our 2015 NX200T AWD on a camping trip and storage was tight so I've been researching roof boxes. I have the silver roof runners so I'm looking for cross bars and roof box recommendations. I've read the faq and searched the NX forum but didn't find specific recommendations outside of using the OEM bars which another recommended against because the warranty is shorter than Thule's.

I'm looking for the max storage I can get and also a setup I can remove easily as it won't stay on all the time. I also don't want it to interfere with the moonroof or hatch/tailgate door.

I'd love to get some recommendations from those who've actually attached and used roof boxes on an NX.

Thanks,

 

not a roof guy fan but maybe tow a lil trailer? idk, i just dont like roof racks.

 

Here is the Roof Rack Thread, and here is my NX in its various uses of the roof rack.

Thule AeroBlades ARB47
Thule Rapid Poduim 460R with KIT4060
Thule Sidearm
Yakima LoadWarrior (I dont like the design of the Thule one, hence the brand mismatch)

 

There are no problems with the rear liftgate, however the sunroof is a little limited. It will open and close with minimal interference, I do see it slightly hitting the under braces of the basket. Also, when open, the front fairing (which does wonders with wind noise reduction) forces air into the cabin, which can be uncomfortable. Closing the sunroof too bumps into the the rubber feet of the fairing, so it takes a little finessing to close the sunroof (push it up with your finger).

 

Thanks for the reply and photos. Its useful info. If anyone has experience with roof boxes that work I'm all ears. 😃
