this is what I'm talking about. you might not be able to fit thule force or motion on a rack. if you currently have a thule box on your rack which one is it?

This style box is very similar to the Yakima CBX series. In order to clear the rear hatch, I had to slide the front crossbar in the foremost position, leaving no room for the wind fairing - while tolerable for 1-2 hrs, it wasn't on my recent 2000 mile road trip.
I've seen a lot of people posting with the Motion/Force in size L, but has anyone had luck with their XL on a 7/8 or full rack? I have the CBX 18, which is similar in size. Would be great to hear feedback from anyone who was able to get their box mounted on a 7/8 or full rack, given the recessed design of the 'claws'
