Troubleshooting

Box will not lock securely

Ensure all locking points are properly aligned with their slots. Check for any obstructions preventing full closure. Verify that the lid is fully closed before attempting to lock.

U-Bolt mounting seems loose

Re-tighten the securing knobs inside the box. Ensure the U-bolts are correctly positioned around the roof bars. Check that the roof bars are securely fitted to the vehicle.

Difficulty opening or closing the lid

Check for ice or debris around the locking mechanism or lid seal. Apply a silicone-based lubricant to the hinges and locking points if they feel stiff.

Wind noise from the roof box

Ensure the box is mounted securely and that all accessories are properly fastened. Some wind noise is normal, especially at higher speeds. Check the position of the box on the roof bars.
