ABS Hard-Shell Roof Box 75 95 115 Liters

Rigid ABS roof box: 75, 95 or 115 litres to free up the interior

A rigid roof box solves a problem no one likes to admit: the car is too small twice a year, and exactly the two times that count. This molded ABS shell attaches to the roof bars and moves everything that crowds the rear passengers' legs up high. Three capacities are available — 75, 95 and 115 litres — to match the actual dimensions of your vehicle rather than imposing a single volume.

The streamlined shell that does not detract from the SUV's lines

The design follows the direction of travel: tapered nose, softened edges, ribbed sides. On an SUV or 4x4, the rigid roof box looks like an extension of the roof rather than a suitcase placed on top. The uniform dark finish matches the most common black roof bars, and the whole remains understated even when empty.

Compare it with a soft roof bag: this one sags in the wind, flaps at highway speeds and gets marked with every load. A rigid shell, on the other hand, keeps its shape, protects the contents from impacts and closes with a single motion.

Thermoformed ABS: the asset of a roof box in the rain

Thermoformed ABS is the benchmark material for this use: rigid without being brittle, resistant to moisture, stable under UV rays. The manufacturer announces a waterproof roof box, capable of driving through a highway downpour without the bags inside showing any trace, and a 6-month warranty. It attaches to an existing roof rack or roof bars, making the whole compatible with the vast majority of equipped vehicles.

• Three volumes available — 75 L for a compact estate, 95 L for a versatile vehicle, 115 L for long trips.
• Rigid ABS shell — the contents are protected from impacts, not just rain.
• Attachment to roof bars — mounts on an existing roof rack, without drilling.
• Waterproof roof box — designed to drive loaded in the rain.
• Freed-up interior — stroller, tent, skis or luggage finally leave the rear boot.

Fixing the box to your vehicle's roof bars

The installation of a roof box is done by two people, with the vehicle stopped on level ground. Place the shell on the bars, center it while ensuring the rear hatch opens fully, then tighten the provided clamps on the crossbars. A check is required before every departure: tighten the clamps, close the shell, and above all, distribute the load inside, the heaviest at the center and as low as possible. This box requires roof bars, which are not included.

How much load can you put in a roof box?

Volume is never the limiting factor: it is the maximum roof load of your vehicle, indicated in the manufacturer's manual, that counts. This limit includes the weight of the box itself and that of the bars. In practice, you put the bulky and light items in it — duvets, clothes, camping equipment — and leave the heavy items in the rear boot, so as not to shift the center of gravity. Also expect increased fuel consumption and moderate speed, a loaded roof box for an SUV significantly changing the aerodynamics.
