"We haven't used it yet, but have fitted and installed in place for use. Attaching to the vehicle was easy. Had a slight problem with one of the hinges, it slipped out of the ball and socket hinge."

"We just used our new carrier. We went on an 8 and half hour trip, through rain. It kept everything safe and dry. It helped us take on of the baby items we now need! I wish it were bigger though...still need more room!"

"Once a year we travel to the Adirondaks to a canoe race and we need to take a lot of equipment and four people in our Subaru Outback. Since this is a once a year trip, I was looking for something that was inexpensive but also functional to help with storage. The Sidekick was just the thing. We did have to drill a set of extra holes in order to make it fit our rack spacing, but that was not too difficult. We could fit a canoe and the Sidekick on our rack and were pleased with all the extra cargo space we had. While putting it together we did make the comment that it seemed rather flimsy, but once it was attached and loaded, it performed very well."

"Received order in several days (faster than advertised). Assembly was a little tricky (you needed at least two people to assemble and directions were not the best). Mounting to vehicle was easy and appearrance was great. Carrier worked great (no water leaks) and actually held more than I thought it would. Would definitely recommend - Good value for money."

"We have a 1 year old and are traveling to a friend's vacation home in Maine this summer. This box is perfect for us to fit the 'extra' items we need, high chair, pack and play, toys, etc. The trunk room is limited in our car, and this is perfect for us. Very pleased with my purchase!!"

"We were able to use our cargo box for the first time in a road trip from Cocoa, FL to Pittsburgh, PA over 4th of July. The box worked very well, except for the fact that it was a little too small for our use. I would like to see about trading it in on a larger model. Other than that, it worked well on the road. The only other issue we had with it was the way the directions read for installation, we found we had to un-do it and read it back-wards as far as hooking the hindges...there was no way we could do it the way the directions read. Overall, we like the product."

Good value/hard to align

"Although the Thule Sidekick Roof Cargo Box is a good value for the money, I thought the plastic would be a bit firmer when I took it out of the package. Once I had on it on the vehicle and had put some items in the cargo box, I realized the plastic did not need to be any firmer than it already was. The only complaint I have is that the cargo box is not aligned straight with the roof line as the bottom loops which go around the roof rack did not align well with the holes on the bottom of the cargo box."

"Assembly was very easy and intuitive. Seems to ride well and carries two sets of golf clubs, as advertised. Kind of a trick to install on car rail. On the hinged side, you have to reach under and push u-bolts up and screw on nuts from a distance. Or start with the hinged side and hang the box over the edge. Probably better with a helper!"
