Do I need to declare a roofbox to my car insurers (Admiral)?

Hi, Do I need to declare a roofbox to my car insurers (Admiral)? Couldn't see roofbox among the modifications you can declare on their website. Closest I can see is Lockable Toolbox, but that's not it. 
I rang and the lady said no, I don't need to declare it. I asked if she could send an email confirming this but, guess what, no email.
Can anyone reassure me? Thanks!

     Is there anything in your insurance terms and conditions that make it any clearer?

    Pedant alert - it's could have, not could of.

    The modifications usally need to be of a permanent nature.

    going by their site, and the options available I would say no,
    as above - modifications usually need to be of a permanent nature
