Hello there,
Summer is here and gotta make a quick decision on a cargo-box for my XC70. Love the looks of this one and seems very practical. THULE has made the design and VOLVO has put their logo on it I was told?!
The 420 and the bigger 520:
320 liters (11 cu ft) /
430 liters (15 cu ft)

Any experience with it. Do they snap-on just like that on the wing profile bars;

This is what VOLVO claims:
Space Design is a modern, exclusive and aerodynamic roof box that offers minimal wind resistance thanks to its unique design.
Space Design can be opened from both sides thanks to the Dual Opening system. The aerodynamic design and a range of practical special functions, together with generous interior measurements mean that this box is in a class of its own. Available in two different sizes and two exclusive gloss premium colours.
The space box has a mounting system that makes fitting the box to the car very easy. No tools are necessary with the simple procedure inside the space box, which facilitates installing and removal.
Equipped with patented Power-click snap lock providing quick and secure, single-handed assembly.
The roof box is equipped with an integrated handle, which provides easy opening and closing and also has a mat in the bottom to reduce noise.

Final question, how noisy is this thing. If it realy whistles or whatever I will not buy for sure. Anybody? Hate noise.
