Specs:
The Thule Canyon XT cargo basket allows you to easily transport a wide range of gear on your vehicle's roof. It maximizes your vehicle's cargo carrying capacity and keeps dirty and damp gear outside of the vehicle. A built-in fairing reduces drag and wind noise, and the mounting hardware is adjustable to accommodate different crossbar spreads. The included 20" extension piece allows you to adjust the basket length as needed.
The low-profile Canyon XT is wedge-shaped and aerodynamic. A wind fairing attaches to the front of the basket to help redirect air up and over the basket. This helps to reduce drag and wind noise. And the side walls are tapered for easy loading.
The basket has universal mounting hardware that fits most crossbar styles, and the hardware adjusts to accommodate most crossbar spreads.
You can position the hardware anywhere along the bottom of the basket to match your crossbar spread. The hardware easily clamps to basket's bottom rails.
To install the basket, simply align the included U-bolts under your crossbars and use the hand knobs to tighten them to the mounting hardware. The system includes 3 sets of U-bolts to accommodate most crossbar sizes.
You can also mount the basket directly into your crossbar's top channels using the included T-bolts. Just slide the T-bolts into the crossbar top channels and use the hand knobs to tighten them to the mounting hardware.
This basket comes with an extension that allows you to customize the length of the basket depending on your needs.
You can bolt all 3 pieces together to create a long basket to carry kayak paddles and other long cargo. To install the extension, loosen the bolts on the bottom of the basket with the included Allen wrench and remove the front of the basket. Slide the ends of the extension into the bars of the basket and re-secure the front of the basket to the extension.
Or simply bolt the front and rear pieces together leaving out the 20" extension to create a standard size basket for bags, camping gear, and other compact cargo.

This sturdy cargo basket lets you transport gear on your vehicle's roof. Tubular steel basket has univeral mounting hardware and a built-in fairing to reduce drag and wind noise. Removable section reduces length by 20" for smaller loads.This was so easy to put together. It fits great on my 2014 Subaru Crosstrek. I plan on loading all the camping gear in it when we go on vacation. The folks at ETrailer.com have been great inn keeping me up to date on the status of my order. 520010
Use this for camping and going to the beach. Works perfectly and holds a lot more than the fancy luggage carriers and costs a lot less. Just buy a waterproof zip up cargo carrier to put everything in and strap it down. 661396

Review from a similar Canyon XT in Roof Basket
The product it’s self is great. It’s a Thule product so you know what you’re getting when you order it. Very stylish and the coating on the basket seems like it will hold up. This is something that is not meant to be taken on and off regularly. It does take some time to install the basket. I did it myself in about an hour. I do feel like the plastic wind shield on it could have had a better set up. Doesn’t look to strong but time will tell etrailer customer service also gets 5 stars I ordered this on sale on Black Friday. The item took about 2 weeks to ship but once it did it only took 2 days to arrive. I recieved several emails updating me on my order status which was great comminitication. It seems that basket was delayed due to supplies from Thule because other retailers stopped taking orders on it. Overall the basket looks great on my Subaru Crosstrek and is what I expected from the product. 460734
Review from a similar Canyon XT in Roof Basket
Great rack! Design flaw: when assembling, the female end of the frame faces forward, potentially letting more rain water inside the tube, increasing the chance of rust. A little gorilla tape helps prevent that. I’m happy with it. 616443

Received and installed just in time for a family trip to a cabin. This rack was perfect for storing coolers and bags to free up space in the back of the car. The only difficult step in the installation was getting it as close to centered as possible on the roof rails. 593914

Ordered the Thule Canyon XT Roof Cargo Basket from etrailer. It came within days of oredering and is as advertised. Ordering from etrailer was an excellent experience. They followed kept me informed of the status as we went along and sent me warranty information after receipt George and Carol were great to work with. PS - the installation was a breeze and we used it to haul roof top items on our camping trip last weekend. Thank You - I will certainly not hesitate to order from etrailer again!! 906635

Review from a similar Canyon XT in Roof Basket
This a real great product. I have had about 2 year. Took it Miami to Baltimore and back again full of tools. This summer took on a 6500 mile trip out west, carrying about 150 pounds on the roof. Held up great used with a cargo waterproof bag. 901684

Review from a similar Canyon XT in Roof Basket
Initially was looking at a different brand but spoke with staff at etrailer. Was provided details and information to make a good decision. The Rola basket is study and easy to assemble. Besides the box arriving to the house which appeared to have been dropped and dragged for a few miles behind the truck all was well. The box w as the part of the assembly so no problems and no damage to product. I would recommend this product And etrailer! 824792

Review from a similar Canyon XT in Roof Basket
We were very happy with our Thule roof rack. The low profile design works well and does not have too much wind noise compared to others I’ve had. It’s held up very well also through the seasons. 808213
Review from a similar Canyon XT in Roof Basket
I’d been looking at this product for a while. No oversize shipping fee. Fairly straightforward directions— IKEA experience a plus. Looks great on the Outback. Feels solid, and is ready to go. 804245
Review from a similar Canyon XT in Roof Basket
Basket is sturdy and wasn't bad to install. I've used it several times and it's great to have with a new car because stuff I don't want in car goes up there. I ride bikes and basket is great for weekend bike trips for extra space as well as whatever I need to haul and construction makes it easy to hook load straps and secure load. Basket does make some noise but it's worth it. Overall great purchase that I plan to get lots of use out of. 730853

Review from a similar Canyon XT in Roof Basket
Purchased this rack and the THULE wind screen shown in picture above is PLASTIC. Would not be a big deal except for when installed it was bent due to the location of the attach points. LOOKED LIKE CRAP. Called to discuss and got the "pass the buck" from etrailer "not our issue-way its made". We took it off but had to put it back on due to a ridiculous amount of wind noise. Poor product. Poor service. Never used again and hitting the trash. Big regret. 592831
Review from a similar Canyon XT in Roof Basket
Products arrived in good condition as expected. Customer service was outstanding! George and Julie kept in constant communication with me regarding one item that was delayed. I asked them if they could sent the rest of the order and it arrived promptly, along with the part that I wasn't expecting until the end of the month. Outstanding!! Being in a field myself that cultivates good customer service these two representatives really took ownership of my order/case and saw it through to the end. Thank you! 498132
