I have the Kamei Corvara 475ltr roof box,stunning. I have been down the Thule route and they are not in the same class as the top Kamei boxes. I have had broken locks and poor build quality in the Thule boxes and cracks in the bodywork I had the misfortune to own. Then you have to deal with Thules woeful 'Customer Care'department, be warned. Also know as the warranty squirmers.

The other thing with Thule is that their cubic capacity figures are,shall we say, optimistic. I have a 475 litre box and can get far more in it than my old 500 ltr Thule. Some sellers will also tell you this,if they are being honest with you.

The lock mechanisms on the Kamei boxes are much superior to all the other boxes I have owned. They also do models which open both sides too,not only Thule do this.I have fitted my Kamei Corvara on Thule aero bars and feet and cannot fault the combination.

It is huge and I am 6'3" and a big build and could easily fit in it. The carbon finish is lovely and the fitting and materials used are all superb. Kamei make the roof boxes for Mercedes Benz, top notch.

Do you research, go look at all the boxes you like and find a bargain. I got mine from an ad on these pages for £130 in as new condition and would not change it for any other box on the market.

Regards all

Have a look at this website as there is a huge choice of roofboxes plus you can purchase ex rental boxes at a discount price plus If you mention UK Campsite you also get a 5% reduction on every purchase made which is an added bonus.

Some cracking deals at Halfords at present, just brought an exodus 360L reduced from £439.99 to  £179.99 ....

Just hope its as good as it looks....

Most of the companies selling roofbars over the internet have a drop down mene where you can type in the name of the manufacturer and mode of your vehicle,and that will then show the type and cost of roof bars available to you.

Mine were purchased from TOYS 4 CARS.
