Very nice
By FL. Swamp Yankee
Very good for expanding your interior space especially for camping gear. Sturdy and easy to mount. Items need to be placed perfectly by weight to avoid distortion which makes it hard to close. Even when closed the nose or front of the unit was not sealed and if rain or too much air got in there it caused the top to lift and the gear to get wet. I tried everything I could to even the weight out and spread the heavy items to the middle but there was still a gap in the front and it lifted when going down the highway @ 70MPH. I fixed it by drilling a small 1/8 inch hole in the front lip between the top lid and the bottom and routed a bungee hook through it. This sealed the box and I had no more issues. This is very sturdy and well built! You will have it for years. The lock on it is great! Unique design allows you to open it from either side. I found it VERY difficult to lift heavy items into it and position them by standing in the doorway of the car. I recommend the wheel st and you can buy which is a platform that attaches to the tire and allows you to stand higher then you would loading in the doorway. If your 6ft you wont have a problem. Overall very nice product but pricey! So well built you will have it for years. Storing it is another thing!

Wonderful addition to our wagon
By Joseph P. Mclaine
This box is HUGE, and was a tremendous asset during our winter holiday. We were able to carry all of our luggage, gifts and collapsed dog bed in this roof box, freeing up the inside of the Volvo XC70 for the baby, 2 adults and 2 dogs. Well-made and sturdy, the set-up only took about 5 minutes, and the clamps attached to the crossbar by hand-tightening. I highly recommend this to anybody looking to free up cabin space!
The Amazon shipping company Pilot called and scheduled a delivery, but since we were leaving for our holiday, I arranged to pick it up from their distribution center early. Very easy and pleasant!

Large Size, Great Aerodynamics, but... WAIT A LIMIT!!!
By M. Plurad
We use this cargo box on our 2003 ACURA MDX. When we use it with 7 seats there is no more room for cargo in the rear of the truck. Maybe for some small bags.

Pros...
* Large Size
* Great styling
* Fast Install
* Lockable & Secure
* Little Wind/Road Noise

Cons...
* Premium Price Tag
* Reduced Gas Mileage
* Can't go into most garages with it on.
*** Weight Limit on Roof Rack - Acura MDX Total Weight on Roof allowed is about 165lbs. With the box weighing about 65lbs, that leaves us with 100lbs of cargo. With full sized luggage with clothes that is only about 2 pieces.

So for road trips we put the large lightweight stuff on the top like sleeping bags, baby toys, & beach stuff or long stuff like sun umbrellas. We had to purchase a hitch carrier (Valley Cargo Hitch on AMAZON) for additional heavy luggage. The hitch can carry lots more weight, easy access, and be more aerodynamic. With both products we have not run out of cargo space.

*** Overall this THULE has been very useful and a solid roof box.***
