I personally hate the rooftop boxes as they're a pain in the arse to get in them (and I'm 6'2").

I have one and use it but if I had to do it over again I'd buy one that goes in the receiver hitch (or haul a trailer).

A little too late for the crossbar. I bought the OEM from a 2017 Yukon. (One of the Members here)
And I bought a Thule Force XL
for $300 the guy never used it and still in the box. Enough for what I need to take.
There is 7 of us going but on the way back some are flight back because of work so me and my little guy are taking the Auto Train in Orlando. Cheaper and I get to rest. Cost $340

I have one. We're always hitting the button while it's in the garage. It goes up a bit and as soon as it hits something it goes back down.

I wouldn't worry about that as much as I would trying to get on top of the vehicle when it's been raining and everything is slippery. Believe me there's been some pretty stressful times I've had to get in there to get stuff.. toddler screaming for a toy and me stopped on the side of the interstate while it's been raining, everything slippery, cars flying by 100 Mike's an hour, etc.

You have to stand on either the rear bumper or one of the tires to see anything in there (or carry a step stool with you).
