User's should note that this cargo box is not One-Key System compatible.

3 out of 5 stars Thule Sidekick   July 3, 2008
Compared to an older Thule roof box that I own, the Sidekick has very light (even flimsy) construction. Price was good. The two lock system is a good idea but the material is so thin it appears someone could literally use a pair of heavy duty sissors to cut around the locks. Having said that it is doing okay so far in the middle of a 7000mile road trip.


5 out of 5 stars Water tight easy way to carry extra items   June 28, 2008
Bought this for a trip back east from California. It survived the torrential rain preceding the tornados and flooding of Iowa, Kansas and Illinois with maybe 3 drops of water inside. Travelled so well could not even feel it on the roof. Very economical way to carry those extra items. Relatively easy to assemble and installed on the roof of my Escape very easily. I would recommend this product.


5 out of 5 stars surprising space and not a real drag on fuel mileage.   May 27, 2008
Just returned from a trip to florida and have to say I am impressed with the sidekick. It is definitely on the small side, but that is ok. It frees up space inside the car, but keeps drag low. It dropped mpg on our subuaru outback by only about 1.5 mpg. We drove through 3 different storms with hard driving rain and didn't get any rain inside the box. My only minor complaint is that the brackets that hold the box to the roof rack use some rather large knobs instead of small nuts to allow them to be tightened by hand. This keeps the floor of the box from being "smooth" and many things get hung up on these knobs when loading or unloading. Not a real big deal, just a little annoying. Assembly and installation on the car was a piece of cake.

Great Grab! used it to help load belongings on a trip from Montana to Massachusetts. made it all the way with not a problem in sight and held a huge amount of equipment. cant beat the price and the quality that Thule products offer...direct fit straight to my jeep as well couldnt have taken more than 10 min. to install. i'd buy another if i needed one.

This cargo box was great. We used it on a 1600 mile trip. No water got in at all and it was pouring when we left. It is not all that roomy, but we knew that when we bought it. A set of golf clubs and some other small bags fit fine. It is a bit flimsy too. It was pretty easy to assemble and put on our Rav4.
