Default Roof bar curvature

Public holiday today, so I had time to measure.

First off, the rail curvature demonstrated by a 1m spirit level placed centrally along the length.

Then the Thule box flipped upside down to check the underside for flatness.

But no, similar curvature. This box is 800mm wide and holds somewhere between 400 - 450l.

It seems these people have been making luggage boxes for a while ;-).

But to be sure, check yours.
