by:

I really like this bag. Fits basket! And you can stuff a lot into it. Not hard to take on and off. We did not have any issues with rain either!



by:

The waterproof outer shell quickly (after a couple months) developed small holes/cracks that slowly seep water in the rain. The bag therefore lost its water resistant feature. Otherwise the bag is easy to install, lightweight (compared to hard shell alternatives), and I found it reasonably easy to access, open, and close. Before the small holes, the bag was water resistant. I took it on a trip in the rain and there were no leaks.



by:

I bought this just over a year ago. I travel full time pulling a travel trailer and have had the Thule Interstate cargo bag on the roof sitting in a Thule Canyon XT cargo basket. The reason I purchased this bag over others is that it doesn’t use soft PVC in its construction. Soft PVC has a demonstrably harmful impact on all living organisms and the planet, from its production to the final product. It’s toxic through and through. The Thule bag uses a TPE lining, which is much safer on every level. I commend Thule for using it. Unfortunately, after less than a year of use, this bag proved incapable of protecting its contents from rain. Everything inside gets soaked after a rainfall. The items I’d stowed in it, e.g. camp furniture, solar panel, are now secured in the cargo basket and exposed, because at least then they can dry out afterwards. I wish I could, but because of its inability to keep it’s contents dry, I can’t recommend this cargo bag.



by:

I bought this for a trip going from southern CA to Eugene OR. We used this with our Honda Odyssey with factory side rails only. We used it for our luggage because we placed bicycles inside the cargo space in our van. I would say we used about 75-80% of the cargo capacity of the bag. Didn’t notice too much wind noise. The fuel economy seemed to drop 1 maybe 2 mpg. We averaged 70-75 mph. I think when you have headwind is where you’ll notice a drop, otherwise I didn’t see much change cruising around 65-70.
We also encountered heavy rain on the freeway once we were in Oregon. When we arrived at our destination, the contents in our luggage was dry, however the floor of the bag was moist.
I also have used this for our 4Runner when we go camping to store extra items such as a plastic tote bin, tents, and other small bags.

The straps work really well to secure the bag.
It is easy to set up and remove from the vehicle when not in use.
It’s easy to clean.

Only concern would be if you stopped over night at a hotel, there is no security to keep anyone from opening the bag. I suppose you could add a luggage lock to the zipper, but just something to consider…

So far this has worked really well and highly recommend this product.



by:

I’ve used this bag on a few camping trips. Bag is very high quality, including zippers, canvas, and straps. The bag has so far shown no signs of wear. It’s easy to strap onto my 2017 Toyota Highlander, which only has cross bars and no side rails. Fits tent, 4 sleeping bags, 2 air mattresses, 2-4 pillows and a few extra items. My only minor gripe is the difficulty in loading while on top of an SUV. It’s like stuffing a pillow case on top of your vehicle.



by:

I have been very pleased with the luggage carrier I purchased. After a year of use, it has fulfilled all my needs and held up to expectations of being durable, weatherproof and ease of installation. Also, I remember the excellent customer service I received when making my purchase a year ago. A great product paired with outstanding customer service is why I definitely give etrailer a 5 star review!



by:

Amazing bag, it survived a crazy storm with cross winds; Everything inside was dry including two laptops. There was some moisture in the inside of the front of the bag but for that kind of storm I was expecting it to be worst. Two of my friends riding with me were going to buy a bag for their vehicles.



by:

Great knowledgeable service. When the endcaps on my roof rack were not in the package they were sent very quickly.



by:

The customer service at a e-trailer is fantastic I was in a time crunch and Teresa was able to get my order to me in 2 days. She was great ! Thule products rock built to last.



by:

The cargo bag has stood up to weather and hard use. No leaks, tears or broken zippers. Great product. Wish it were larger!

Traveled for approximately 22 hrs with this item through rain and wind, empty and filled to the max. Never leaked, held up great and is ready for another adventure!

Yes! We are very happy with our purchase.
Thank

See what our Experts say about this Thule Car Roof Bag

  • Cargo Bag Recommendation for a Vehicle with only Raised Siderails
    You could attach the Thule cargo bag, # TH869 to the side rails only but it is not recommended for this bag. The reason is because during starts and stops, the bag can move forward and backwards and it can damage the roof of the vehicle. What I recommend is a bag that can be used with or without any type of roof rack. Take a look at the cargo bag, # RL100S30. This bag can be attached to the roof safely even without crossbars or rails. Make sure that the bottom of the bag and the top of...

  • Roof Cargo Bag To Fit Factory Roof Rack On 2019 Infiniti QX60
    I do have an option for you but the Thule Interstate Rooftop Cargo Bag part # TH869 tie downs will most likely not reach the cross bar with that much overhang like you mention. I looked up your vehicle's factory roof rack and it doesn't look like it has raised rails either so it would be difficult to tie a bag that size down with a cross bar spread of 30". I recommend to use the Rightline Gear Sport 2 Rooftop Cargo Bag part # RL100S20 which will hook on the inside of the vehicle without...

  • Roof Cargo Bag Recommendation for 2018 Acura MDX
    The Thule Interstate Roof Cargo Bag part # TH869 would be a great option for a roof bag to fit your 2018 Acura MDX with a factory roof rack. It's can hold quite a bit of cargo, mounts securely, and is weatherproof as well. I attached a review video for this bag for you to check out as well.

  • Cargo Bag Recommendation that Fits Into Thule Canyon XT Roof Basket
    For a cargo box that has similar dimensions as the internal dimensions of the Thule Canyon XT # TH859XT we have the Thule Interstate # TH869 which measures 40" long x 38" wide x 18" tall compared to the Canyon XT which has internal dimensions of 49" long x 40" wide x 6" tall.

  • Will the Thule Interstate Cargo Bag # TH869 Work with Raised Rails on a 2009 GMC Acadia
    Cross bars are recommended when installing Thule Interstate Expandable Roof Rack Cargo Bag, item # TH869. The cross bars keep the bag from sliding forward and back on the vehicle roof during acceleration and braking and protect the vehicle roof from damage by keeping the bag stationary when installed. Make sure to clean the roof before installing the bag to keep dirt, between the bag and roof, to a minimum so the roof does not get scratched. Cross bars for your 2009 GMC Acadia consist...

  • Recommended Roof Cargo Bag for 2019 RAV4
    If a 15 cubic foot bag would work for you, I'd recommend the CagoSmart 15 Cubic Foot roof cargo bag, part # CS64FR. The bag can be mounted to both the side rails if they're raised as well as the crossbars for a very secure fit. Everyone here that's gotten their hands on this bag is impressed by how sturdy it is, given it's fairly inexpensive price point, which is much less than the comparable Thule bag. Although the bag is referred to as waterproof, the zippers on any cargo bag are going...

  • Best Cargo Bag for the Thule Canyon XT 859XT on a 2017 Volkswagen Golf Alltrack
    The Thule Interstate Rooftop Cargo Bag part # TH869 would fit perfectly inside of the Thule Canyon XT Roof Cargo Basket part # TH859XT and allow for you to transport additional cargo on your roof without too much of a concern for it getting wet. The base has padding so there won't be any issues with wear from the cargo basket and the inside of the bag has compression straps so you can make sure all of your gear stays in place. It also has some of the most advanced water-resistance features....

  • Does Thule Interstate Bag Fit in Thule Canyon Cargo Basket
    Yes, the Thule Interstate Cargo Bag part # TH869 would easily fit in the Thule Canyon part # TH859XT. The bag is also water resistant which means in a light rain the contents of the bag would stay dry but a heavy rain would allow water in. Either way it's a good idea to wrap your cargo in a plastic bag.

    Even with the Malone AirFlow2 Roof Rack # MPG215 on your 2019 Jeep Cherokee you do need to use a basket like the Inno Shaper # INXA568 with the Thule Interstate Rooftop Cargo Bag # TH869 because otherwise part of the bag would rest on the panoramic sunroof and that would be dangerous.

Thule is a great brand and their Interstate Cargo Bag, # TH869, is hard to beat when it comes to size and quality. I've attached a review video of this bag for you to check out.

    The best cargo box is definitely going to be a Thule, and there are a number that I have confirmed will fit the factory crossbars of your 2017 Honda CR-V. The biggest issue is going to be antennae interference because even the shortest rooftop cargo box that fits, the Thule Sidekick Roof Mounted Cargo Carrier Box # TH78GC, is 54 inches long and may interfere with your antenna. The Sidekick cargo box would be your best option in regards to fit, with the 67 inch long Thule Pulse Medium Rooftop...

  • Comparing the Thule Interstate and Outbound Roof Mount Cargo Bags
    There is not a lot of difference between the Thule Interstate, # TH869, and Outbound, # TH868, roof mount cargo bags. Basically you are looking at capacity differences. the Interstate has a 16 cubic foot capacity and the Outbound has a 13 cubic foot capacity. The Interstate is 40 inches long, 38 inches wide, and 18 inches tall. The Outbound is 36 inches long, 36 inches wide, and 17 inches tall. Both bags are made of non-PVC nylon.

  • Is Thule Interstate Cargo Bag for Thule Canyon Basket Waterproof
    The Thule Interstate roof bag part # TH869 that can be used with the Thule Canyon XT cargo basket part # TH859XT is considered weather resistant. What this means is that it's going to keep the contents of the bag dry when it's raining but if you were to submerge the bag in water (not likely to happen when on your roof...) it would let water in. To be cautious we do recommend putting items that have to be kept dry in plastic bags as an insurance policy.

  • Cargo Bag and Lock Recommendation for a 2000 Isuzu Rodeo
    The Thule Interstate Expandable Roof Rack Cargo Bag # TH869 that you referenced is designed to work on most factory and aftermarket roof racks. If you have a factory or aftermarket roof rack this product should work well for you. It is not designed as lockable, but with a couple pad locks from a local home improvement store you could lock the zippers. If you do not have a roof rack at all on your 2000 Isuzu Rodeo you could get a Cargo Bag # RL100S30 as this product is designed to work...

  • Do Roof Mounted Cargo Bags Have to Fit In Between Roof Rack Crossbars on a 2009 Mazda 5
    When mounting a cargo bag to the roof of a vehicle the best way to keep the bag from sliding back and forth during starts and stops is to have the bag mounted between the crossbars. Depending on how full the Thule Interstate bag, # TH869, is, you may be able to fit it in between the bars. Otherwise, the bag is long enough and rigid enough at the ends that it should not just ooze over the bars at the ends. I have included a link to a video review and another link to all the roof mount bag...

    The Thule roof top cargo bag # TH869 you referenced isn't listed as a fit on your 2013 Acura MDX. What I recommend is the Rightline Sport rooftop cargo bag # RL100S30 because it will mount on bare roofs, roof racks or cargo baskets on SUVs or minivans. It has 18 cubic feet of cargo room and it's weatherproof. See picture to the right. I would run the included straps through your 2013 Acura MDX interior and then out around the carrier. You can attach the straps to your existing side rails. A...

    With a Yakima roof rack installed on a 2012 Honda CR-V, the spread between the bars will be 32 inches. The length of the Thule cargo bag, # TH869, is 40 inches. The bag would have to rest on the crossbars, which is permissible, but it would sag in the middle some. Most of the roof mounted bags we carry are longer than 32 inches but we do have # RL100J86-B which is 25 inches long.

It has a water-resistant construction to keep your gear dry and a padded base that will protect your CR-V's roof from any scratches or dents.

You will not need to order any additional parts to mount it to your 2011 Acura MDX.

  • Do Roof Top Cargo Bags Affect Gas Mileage
    Anytime you put some on the roof of your vehicle gas mileage will suffer. It really varies as to how much the mileage will suffer. I have heard of people taking a big hit in gas mileage, and I have also heard of people who claim a zero loss in gas mileage. It will really depend on how you much stuff you load into the bag as well as the overall aerodynamics of the roof of your vehicle. I would imagine that you will lose a little bit of gas mileage, but it will not be too bad. The Thule...

The reason for this is the factory crossbars of the 4Runner are very low, and the clamps used to secure these rooftop boxes may not be able to completely wrap around the bars, not allowing the cargo boxes to be fully secure to the rack.
