These roof boxes for the car. Are there any limits regarding car size and box size? Will my little Peugeot 206 be OK with one of the largest (600L I think)ones?
You need to consider the length more than the width. You need to make sure that the tailgate/hatch can open without hitting the box and there is not too much overhang over the front. Also make sure that the front roofbar is not too far from the front of the box otherwise it is likely to lift at high speed. Basically I would go for a short fat one but it's best to try it on the car before you buy it. Hope this helps.

That was the sort of thing I was looking for, cheers. High speed might not be an issue though. 😆
get a long thin one. only put stuff in it you will use on holiday we use ours for the picnic rug chairs etc you can get them easy when you stop without turfing everything else out of the car plus they didnt cost a fortune if they get robbed
This lot are probably the most helpful people in the world [well maybe not]
They will give you all the advice you need without trying to push a sale
Cheers uplink, they're unlikely to get a sale though.
There will be a roof load limit for your car - check in the manual (75kg is pretty typical). Remember the weight of the bars and box themselves.
Best used for bulky but light things - keep the heavy stuff in the boot.
Just check the weight limit for the box so it doesn't void your insurance etc.
I quite like the longer ones that bunch up a bit if you need them to. 🙂
