The Many Uses Of A Car Roof Box.

PRLog (Press Release) - Nov 07, 2008 -
Car roof boxes are without question the best way to carry on your car roof those items that you can’t carry in the boot or inside the car. With your stuff safely inside a car roof box you know it’s out of sight so not tempting the light fingered fraternity. You also know it can’t work loose and fall off into the road as it might from an old fashioned roof rack. Only if the box itself comes adrift can you lose your gear.

If you choose a Thule roof box (http://www.fasteronline.co.uk/index.php?osCsid=eb740665d ...) that won’t happen because all Thule roof boxes are attached to the roof bars in such a way that they can’t come unfastened. If you’ve been sensible and specified Thule roof bars as well they themselves are securely attached to the vehicle and can’t come off of their own accord.

So, your load is safer in a car roof box than it ever would be on an open roof rack and in addition it’s protected against the elements. Because of its streamlined shape your Thule roof box will offer much less wind resistance than even an empty roof rack let alone a full one so your fuel consumption will suffer less.

You can use car roof boxes to carry items that you wouldn’t want exposed to the wind and rain and you don’t need to tie them down.
