Just got a Kamei Delphin 380

KAMEI Delphin 380 roof box right side opening no. KM350.

My question is where should I be placing the the box on the car, I.E should the front line up with top of the windscreen or should I have it mounted further back?

The box isn't that long so is shorter than the roof, so has no need to overhang the windscreen at the front.

Advice appreciated as I have no idea!
 
Your choice.

I like mine to sit back...sometimes, and at other times forward.

Fit it closer to the side of the car on which it opens, and maybe so that you can stand on the rear tyre to get access to it when open.
 
Ta.

I read somewhere that the wind noise is less with it further forward?
 
Wind noise isn't a factor I ever worried about...never heard it.
 
"In theory" the best aerodynamics and therefore "drag" might be achieved if the sloping front of the box forms a continuation of the windscreen angle of rake.
