You pay for what you get.
I shopped everywhere for this thing, the price is the same no matter where you look, but amazon had free shipping. This thing is big, and comes in a huge box. Thule is the one you want, don’t get a cheaper, lower quality one. It attached to the roof of our Acadia perfectly. The clamps go on and it’s done. It holds a ton of stuff, and it’s waterproof, with a very nice lock and key. And it looks sharp. We bought it for a beach vacation, as our Acadia is running out of room on the inside with 3 kids. We drove it 2 hours to the beach, in the rain. I was nervous. But you would have never known it was on top of the car, and all of our stuff was 100% dry. This thing met all my expectations.
If I had to name some negatives, I would say attaching and removing this thing from the car is a little tough because it only opens from the passenger side. You have to really get up on the roof to secure the clamps on the driver side. I just used a step ladder, it was pretty simple. It weighs about 30 pounds, so one person can move it, but it’s a little bulky.
Thule is a more expensive brand, but sometimes it is worth it. This is an example of you pay for what you get. If you want 100% confidence with your stuff on top of your car driving 70mph down the highway, this is your roof top cargo box. Can’t say enough good things about it. It was a big purchase for us and we were not disappointed. Very satisfied and highly recommended.
