Hi - did you ever get any answers to this question from other sources?

I have an identical roof box setup.

Also, how have you found the positioning? I think when the roofbox is put on and positioned to enable the rear door to be opened, the box is too far forward and causes the front of the box to be buffeted.

With some sensible positioning of the box on the bars (ie all the way back) and by tethering my skis inside the box in a way that created extra bracing - I was able to minimise the vibrations / buffeting at speed and on the Autobahn was able to cruise confidently at 100mph / 110mph.
