    Great Buy for a Subaru Outback! December 21, 2010

    Purchased for a 2005 Subaru Outback. Installation is a breeze, need to people to lift it on to the roof because of its size, but one person can manage it after than. Perfect length for the car; it doesn't get in the way of the sunroof or the tailgate, and accessing the topper by standing on the back bumper is very comfortable. Driven over 2,000 miles with it and didn't even notice it was on the car, even on some windy days through the mountains! The height of the topper really makes it versatile. Great value, too! Some feedback said that the nuts strip easily, but I didn't feel like it needed to be really overtightened to stay on...just 1/4 turn over snug, and it didn't budge. I could also see how the hinges could break if you're overly enthusiastic about opening and closing the lid, but a little tenderness while operating should keep anything from warping or breaking.

    OK-about what you would expect for the price-NOT water tight! April 03, 2011

    This product installs quickly and easily. I didn't have any problems with the installation. It is a very light duty item and must be handled accordingly. If you are careful with this product, it should last a long time. I can see how one false or careless move could damage or break the hinges.

    My biggest problem with this product is that it is NOT water tight. I figured this would be an obvious requirement for this type of product. We saw heavy rain during our travel and noticed there was some standing water in the carrier and some of our beach towels were wet. I dried the entire inside. Later, after a rain during which our car was parked, I noticed water had again gotten into the carrier. Based on this performance and since there are not any gaskets to make the carrier water tight, I would expect this performance to be the norm.

    We didn't put anything valuable or easily damaged by water in the carrier, mostly pool toys, scooters, towels, and beach chairs. For us, this was an inconvenience, not a big problem.

    I'm going to try and install some weathering gasket purchased from the local hardware store. This should work or at least reduce the water infiltration.

    Overall this product is OK. About what you would expect for the price. In hindsight, I might consider one of the more expensive carriers from Thule or Yakima. Who knows, these may not be any better.

    Best Value Cargo Box in Large Size January 30, 2012
    By cargoboxking of Harrogate, TN
    Pros:
    large size,cheap price,easy mounting,waterproof,Sturdy

    First off, GREAT PRICE for box of this size. Comparable Thule and Yakima are at least double the price. Box loads easily, rides great with minimal wind noise and looks good as it is solid black in color and more ridgid plastic than many others. More waterproof than expected. Easy to install, I wrapped the u bolts and plates with black duct tape to keep them from scratching my cross bars and as long as you dont over tighten the stripping is not an issue. As far as MPGs-- of course there is a slight decrease because you have a large box strapped to the roof of your car, if you didn't expect that you shouldn't be shopping for cargo boxes.

    X -Cargo Sport 20 best buy for tons of extra "must-haves" December 13, 2011
    By PhDnK9z of Gainesville, GA
    Pros:
    large size,cheap price,easy mounting,No wind noise,waterproof,Highly recommend!,perfect,Did not seem to affect the gas mileage.
    Cons:
    none

    I bought this 2 yrs ago and I put this on a Ford Explorer by myself. ( i'm 5'6 and 110lb female). It's not easy but can be done if careful. Because I travel a lot it stays on the car. It holds as much as you can stuff in it and now has about 4,000+ miles "on" it.  Please note that my car stays outside so it has been exposed to blistering sun in the southern summers, to feet of rain, driven through countless high wind thunderstorms and even a tornado that went through the neighborhood in June of this year and has never gotten water inside! I have not noticed any wind noise and no impact on my gas mileage either. My brother has a Thule on his Durango, paid a good bit more money for it, and when we compared the two side by side, the X-Cargo held a lot more of the "bulky" items and cargo in general. I had to replace mine because a tree fell across the top and it cracked. I am replacing it with the exact same model. I can access it easily from the back bumper and I have it positioned as far back on the rack as possible where it doesn't interfere with opening the tailgate. I would highly recommend this to anyone who wants a good value for their money and a good product in general.

    Love it! Has so much added space! December 09, 2011
    By kcarlisle1 of Saline, MI
    Pros:
    large size,easy mounting

    We have a family of six and needed to make a trip to Grandma's house for Thanksgiving and this provided the extra space needed in my 2005 Chevy Venture. We have 4 kids and two dogs so any space is a benefit. I really didn't comprehend what 20 cubic feet would add and when I picked it up it was huge. I did notice a little more wind friction when riding behind semi's but this occurs some without the topper. I did not really notice any real difference in my gas mileage. I generally go between 75 and 80 mph on the highway and all seemed well. We did not have to drive in any real windy conditions but if we had there would have been more push on the vehicle but again that occurs all the time. We fit 2 large suitcases, pillows, and 3 carrying bags with misc stuff in them. It did appear flimsy when taken out of the box but once mounted and loaded not at all! We actually had a completly empty trunk which allowed us to put our Husky/Rott mix dog in the trunk area for the ride rather than being squished between the seats. Would recommend if need extra space for a large family traveling!! Especially if you don't have money to by a bus like us!

    Excellent product! November 29, 2011
    By sfieldsoccermom of Summerfield, NC
    Pros:
    large size,cheap price,easy mounting
    Cons:
    none

    Excellent product - especially for the price!  The reviews were mixed, so I was not sure what to expect.  This carrier holds a lot - suitcases and gear for 6 people with room to spare.  Wind noise was not bad, and there was no banging and clanking  - gas mileage did not decrease by much.  The carrier is easy to install and appears to be well constructed.  I would highly recommend this product!
