 Beware of "Better Together" option March 30, 2008

We purchased the Thule Sidekick Cargo Box along with the suggested "better together" combination of 4 Thule Waterproof Bags. The Bags are great and the Cargo Box is great, however only 2 of the 4 bags fit in the Sidekick rather than the 4 shown in the picture of the "better together" combination. If you are looking to use 4 bags don't believe the picture, rather invest your money in the next size up of Thule Cargo carriers so you will be able to fit all 4 bags in your cargo box.

The sidekick fits perfectly on our Subaru outback. Don't be deceived by its looks-holds more than you expect. Sturdy and closes nicely. Con- wish it had a thumb holder by lock.

Yes, this box is not as thick and heavy as the larger pro-line boxes....and that's precisely why I like it! It provides about 50% more storage space for my Outback wagon and looks nicely proportioned to the car (not like those bigger monster-sized boxes would look on top of a small wagon).
While some folks have said it took 2 people to assemble, I was able to do it myself just fine. It's also lightweight enough to put on and take off of the car by myself as well (I'm a middle-aged female). Once you start loading it up, it doesn't wobble around anymore and provides a good secure, dry enclosure. I was able to haul a tent, chairs, sleeping bags and other camping gear in it with no problems.
Well worth the money. Very nice product!

Quick delivery...good quality and easy to assemble but very small..if i had to do it over again I would have stepped up and gotten a bigger box. If you dont have alot to carry this is a great deal...if you need some space this is not the box for you.
 Might have been good if all the parts came..... October 31, 2007

The Thule sidekick came without one of the hinges and with one of the strike plates for the latch half assembled and incorrectly. Calling Thule customer serivce, well, I gave up after 4 20 min period on hold over the course of a week. I sent them an e-mail, no reply, I wrote a paper letter, no reply. I needed to use the item so it was a trip to the hardware store and I had to rig and manage the repairs myself. Quality control at Thule and customer service seem non-existent. I would try other brands, after all it's only a plastic box and some hardware.
