Default Roof Luggage Box for 991

Hi, I am looking for a roof luggage box for a 2017 991. Please let me know if you have any recommendations. Porsche sells a couple for ~$1000, but I can not find one in a dealership around me to check it out. If you had one do you think it can fit a stroller, also what other brands (like Thule) would you recommend, etc. Thanks!

thule is who makes the porsche rank so all of their stuff works with it.

most other vendors work with these systems so just search luggage racks

Thanks for the information. I called Thule and spoke with them, but they said that they do not make a box for 991. I told them that the one Porsche offers is made by them as suggested here, but they said that I have to go through Porsche. Does anyone know which Thule branded box is compatible with the Porsche branded box?

Default 56 Nord

Might be a bit more than you're looking for but 56 Nord is getting close to production on their boxes. You need to get a Thule Aero bar system and then these mount to them. They come in full carbon fiber and a plastic version.

I bought a generic one from Thule with their quick connecter system (I forgot the name of their system) and it clamps right onto the OEM Porsche roof rack.

i included a pic for reference.

Porsche offers two sizes for their roof luggage box. Is the larger one "too big" for a 911, perhaps made more for the Panamera? Thanks.

Thank you for the information, I am thinking many boxes will fit a 911. Also wondering about the roof system (the two bars) if I should go through Porsche for $410 or go through Thule as well who probably make these as well.

I have a set of the Porsche OEM roof bars from my 991.1C4S. PM me if you’re interested.
