Hi All,

After the exciting arrival of the Thule Atlantis 780 roofbox this morning, it's becoming clear that Mrs_Revs isn't tall/strong enough to lift her end of it up onto the roof!

Is there anyone out there that could lend 30 min to share the load?

Many thanks and beer tokens for anyone able to give me a hand!

To give you an idea of the scale of the thing - here is the box it came in:



  • disclaimer - Hairy_Revs is there simply to give scale, (and because he hopped on!) - NOT because he will be travelling in the thing once it's bolted to the roof! biggrin

It may be easier to lift if Hairy_revs is not sat on the box smile
