Bet they didn't bung it into access height to back out, would save more damage to the roof box.

Ouch, been there, done that with a RR plus ski rack in a underground filling station in Paris, I had to reverse 100 metre to get out.It can when others can't,
It will when others won't,
It goes where others don't.

There, their they're!A vaccine does not stop you catching a virus, or passing it on, or getting ill from it, really ill. It does reduce the likelyhood of you dying when really, really ill. Stay Alive - KEEP AWAY FROM PEOPLE.

I've done it too! I destroyed my 400litre roof box. My first thought was "why is it raining shards of plastic"?

In my area most beach car parks and any other car parks have the barriers up I always have my vhf/uhf ham aerial on one side of roof bars but occasionally have the larger HF mobile on opposite side roof bar, and yes I've nearly destroyed them. Now I have crocodile clip on dash with Antennas on to remind me. Councils here have thing about Motorhomes and car parks!
