Low quality locks, tightening wheels a pain to use
The quality of the box is decent but the locks are horrible. They’re cheap looking, feeling and operating. Locks frequently get stuck. Also the 4 tightening wheels are unbelievable difficult to tension in order to get the “two clicks” that ensure secure product behavior. Would not buy this product again.

As advertised
Quality product, easy installation despite some comments I read…plug in you car make model and year and it sizes it perfectly (or at least did for my 2023 Chevy Traverse). Less than an hour start to finish to install and most of that was walking from one side of the car to the other to get everything perfectly aligned.

Poor lock and the fasteners fell apart!
Poor lock and the fasteners fell apart! Was getting ready to go camping and the fastener fell apart! I looked on web site to replace and I guess I am out of luck. Not to happy with the quality for the money

Great cargo space - easy to install
I was using a soft roof bag but it only lasted for a few years and was bit of a pain to set-up with the straps. I got the force XT L because it fits well on my 4runner and was easy to install - since all of our skis are less than 175 cm, the XT L was a good option. You don't even notice it while driving, whether empty or full. Adds so much functionality. A great product overall.

Just what I needed
This was a product I had been watching for a while, and as I started to solidify plans for a cross-country road trip, became a more important purchase! Fits great on my factory-installed bars on a RAV4. Couldn’t be more thrilled.

Awesome roof box
The box construction is sturdy, installation was very easy and it holds allot of gear if you need room for your small SUV. The clamp locks can snap out of position, which is of concern but so far no issues when the carrier is in place on the roof tightened.

Great if the locks wo, but the locks don't work
I've had this carrier for two years and have experienced problems similar to those listed elsewhere on this page. I close the box (empty) and lock it. When I try to open it again, the lock won't budge. Now I have a huge Thule storage container attached to my car which I cannot remove. The lubricant sprays also don't work.

Brand new and lock issue!
Just had this (65" long) installed on my Subaru Crosstrek by Subaru. Got it home, unlocked it and opened it. Closed it, locked it back but it didn't go all the way to the left but was locked. Now the key won't come out and it won't unlock! It's new so I can't imagine it's got dust/dirt in the lock already. Help!
