KAMEI's Base 400 boxes are among the best designed and engineered boxes available. They look distinguished on any car, have a superb 'Just pull shut to lock' central locking system that makes them very easy to use (all KAMEI boxes have an easy closing feature of one sort or another), and have gas-assisted struts that allow for a smooth opening and closing motion that just isn't possible with other systems. And they also have KAMEI's ultra-low-profile ClickFix system, "the fastest in the world", for fixing the box to all brands of slotted aluminium bars, including BMW's. Note that this box can't be fitted to steel bars. More information on core features ClickFix: The ClickFix system is claimed to be "the world's fastest roof box mounting system". Certainly we can't see how it could possibly be any faster. Place the ClickFix above the aluminium roof bar T-track slot and push down the handle. Done - it automatically adjusts to all T-track profiles (where the channel is at least 20mm wide), even to BMW profiles that usually require special adapters. Just pull to shut central locking: KAMEI's central locking systems have the benefits of central locking without the potential drawbacks. Turn the key and the lid opens wide on its gas struts, but to close it you just pull the lid until it clicks shut - no need to hold the front and back shut while simultaneously turning the key. And you can’t lock the keys in the box inadvertently because the keys can’t be withdrawn from the lock until the box is properly shut. This is clever engineering. DuoLift with gas struts: This DuoLift box opens from either the left or the right hand side, making it very easy to fix to roof bars (no need to stretch across the box), as well as providing full choice about where you position it, depending e.g. on what else you are carrying on the roof, and which side to load and unload. The DuoLift system includes patented gas struts for wide and easy opening and closing. Some other features: About KAMEI There's a general consensus that KAMEI, based in Wolfsburg in Germany, makes the best quality boxes on the market. Don't just take our word for it! They're a specialist box manufacturer, Quality Assured to ISO 9001, represented in over 40 countries, with numerous Best Buy awards over the years. With their innovative and intelligent designs, top quality materials and engineering, and outstanding build quality, it's no surprise that KAMEI are Original Equipment box suppliers to several major manufacturers, including Audi, Mercedes-Benz and VW. And their boxes have the longest guarantee of any manufacturer in the car rack systems sector - 6 years! KAMEI originally built its reputation in the car styling sector over many decades, so it should be no surprise that they 'get it right' with both looks and aerodynamics. Both the lid and the base of the Base 400 boxes were styled to integrate with the latest car roof shapes; there's minimal front overhang, and hatchback tailgates can be fully opened - yet it's long enough for carving skis. Base 400s are great looking boxes, in our view among the most stylish on the market.

Fitting boxes with KAMEI ClickFix to Thule WingBars If you wish to fit this box to Thule’s WingBars, you should not insert the rubber strips into the bars, because they will be caught up by the ClickFix mechanism, and pushed into the T-track slots in the aluminium bars. This will put too much strain on the ClickFix system, and will not be a safe fitting. Fitting the rubber strips into WingBars is not an easy task; if it were easy, it would be done at the Thule factory! Spare yourself the hassle! When a box is fitted to roof bars there is no need for noise-reducing rubber strips anyway; this is true if anything is fitted to roof bars, e.g. a bike carrier or a kayak carrier – all these items make some noise. If you wish to leave your bars in place with the roof box removed then there is sense in cutting and inserting the rubber strips, but not in the area of the ClickFix fixings. It is best to use the box a few times before doing this, so you can be confident that the box is in the optimum position on your roof bars. Removing the rubber strips is easy; putting them in again a second time, neatly, is very difficult! |
