How did u adjust for coming out of your garage? I encountered same problem but removed track then reinstalled on street. What did u do?
Hey SoeulBuddy™ - the scrape was pretty minimal. First time I just drove through it. It sounded way worse than it was. I can take the end of the driveway at a 45° angle which prevents it too. It had to do with payload. It wouldn't scrape when everything was empty, but that won't be the case come camping time. I'll probably angle it out and have someone watch me as I exit, and if it gets really gnarly, I'll pull it. For sure carrying the appropriate socket set on this trip.
Probably cheaper/easier to just add a skid plate, and it wouldn't take as much vertical space as a roller/wheels. Something like this is likely more practical if it's a persistent issue for a user:I wonder if any cargo box manufacturers have thought to put a roller on the trailing edge of the box? Even if it seldom makes a difference in the real world I can see it being a selling point when choosing one box over another.

Buy this to resolve low cargo rack:Hey SoeulBuddy™ - the scrape was pretty minimal. First time I just drove through it. It sounded way worse than it was.

So I fixed the scraping issue....@Pigwich, those containers look huge in the bird's eye view!
Hey there,Much better clearance than you had stock! Does it interfere with anything in its new higher position?

I have done this many times. Have a Curtis hitch mount rack. Use an amazon bag strapped in. Easy to load and unload, hatch can be opened. No discernible mileage penalty.![]()
Trailer hitch?
I see what you did there! Well played sir, well played. The instructions are blurry, but the installation process looks simple and no drilling is needed. Thanks for uploading hitch pictures.www.chevybolt.org
I can’t track it down right now but I know I’ve read that another member had a good experience road tripping with a hitch mounted cargo carrier. It’s my plan for when I start taking longer road trips again...
