Before you fork out for a branded box from Volvo or Thule I’d suggest taking a look online.

The other bit of kit that I bought was one these car door latch steps as it makes getting the box up and filling it very easy . https://www.amazon.co.uk/Doorstep-Ve...13771916&psc=1
Bought the same box about 10 years ago for the S40 asking with a set of whispbars from the same place. Box did a great job, at one point I think i left it on the car for about 3 years in a row with no ill effects to the box, mpg wasn't excessively impacted too.

Lightweight enough to lift up into the car on my own too.

Still have the box in the garage although not sure I'll need it again as they E class estate swallows up everything.

Not sure I'd trust those steps though, think I'd stick to a small folding stool.
