Funny thing, I always notice these roof cargo boxes now for this reason....They're all put on backwards!! I swear I’ll crap my pants if I ever see someone who has it mounted tapered end back. The tapered end is invariably the front of the box, and unless you've been living under a rock, (or you’re not a frequent visitor to Ecomodder.com) we all know that the taper should be in the back. I wonder if the weather seal is different on the front & back which is the reason you never see them turned around by someone who would know better. Some boxes have a flat back, but others have a perfect aero shape, if mounted the other way. I think they should hang off the back as far as structurally possible as well.
