Thule® 682 - Sidekick Roof Cargo Box
This item fit perfectly on my Audi Q5; I drove from Houston, TX to Atlanta, GA in the rain. I drove as fast as 90 mph and its so quiet I forgot it was on the roof; my clothes did not get wet. Putting it together was simple. I put it on my roof alone; its light weights. Easy to open easy to lock. I love the Thule!!

Great Travel Box!
Box looks great on CRV and is perfect for taking 2 sets of golf clubs on trips. Also 1 person can place and secure box to automobile. Assembly was easy after getting hinges onto box. Pre drilled holes did not fit factory bars. Had to position and drill new holes to fit cross bars. Also tape to cover unneeded holes would not adhere to box and had to be replaced. Box works well with little wind noise. Would definitely purchase again. Arrived quickly company rep was knowledgeable and helpful.

Roof Cargo Box from CARiD Is Awsome
Thule® - Force XT™ Roof Cargo Box
We needed a cargo box for our Jetta within 2 weeks. Checked other online suppliers but no one could deliver it in time. Contacting CARiD, they had everything in stocks and could ship in 2-3 days. I couldn't believe the selections available! Choosing Thule for rails, hardware, cargo box, etc was a good choice. Thule makes quality products and installation was a breeze. Need to give CARiD a 5 star for the help I needed ordering everything. Thanks!

Great but Needed the Bigger Box
Th storage box looks good and solid. The only thing I wish I would have done is purchase the bigger storage unit because I can only fit 2 suit cases and a small duffle bag and it barely wants to close, but other then that it’s great and they should all be able to open on both sides much more convenient

Great System
We purchased this cargo box for our 2016 Honda HR-V. Once the racks are in place (which isn't complicated to put on the roof), the cargo box fits on nicely. We were able to adjust it so that the back hatch can open and the box does not touch it. There is a slight whistle at high speeds, but not a problem for us. Fits all our needs so far.

Review of Thule 624 - Force M Cargo Box
This cargo box is head and shoulders above the rest in quality. Real easy to install. On our first trip through West Virginia, we went through a terrific rainstorm. Rain was pelting us from every direction. The box didn't leak one bit.

Thule 626 Force XXL Cargo Box
First I would like to say that dealing with CARiD is fantastic. Easy ordering and free shipping on my product. Can't beat that! They also tell you to double check the product when it arrives to make sure it is good condition. The shipping company that delivered it took it off the truck and we looked the box over. He told me that it looks like the box is pulled apart a little so I took my time and took the product out of the box. It was in great shape, no worries. The diamond textured skin looks awesome can't wait to take it on a long trip. It fits my Westfalia great no problems at all. It also holds a ton of our camping "stuff" that we used to cram into the small van so now we are in heaven while driving as well.

Great Cargo Carrier, Great Price, A+!
I bought this Thule cargo carrier for my Dodge Grand Caravan SXT with the factory installed roof rack and cross bars. We are a family of six with a dog, and we go on long road trips often to see family. We just didn't have the space we needed in the van. It seemed like there would be a trade off between price, quality and size, but then I came across this company. Their prices are so competitive that I was able to get this higher-quality topper for not much more than the lower quality ones. Jackpot! The checkout process was smooth, shipping was fast and very satisfactory, and the unboxing and first time installation of cargo carrier on our van was done by one person. That's how straightforward it was! I am very satisfied with our purchase from CARiD and highly recommend purchasing from this company. If you would like to see photos of how this looks on our Dodge Grand Caravan, I can snap some pictures and send them in. Thanks for a great shopping experience.
