Received on time and in good condition.
You need 2 people to assemble this product in an efficient manner.
It is as advertised. A very good inexpensive carrier.
Great product, easy to install. Best price we found anywhere,even with express shipping! Arrived quickly as scheduled. Perfect size for a small SUV.
Nice & Fast Good Job-Well Done Thanks!
Performed exactly as expected.
Great 'price match' deal and fine, fast service. Got it the following day the price match was approved, when I was expecting it to be delivered in 2 or 3 days afterward. Thank you!
More difficult to assemble than I expected. A bit frustrated but I made it.
Expected it to be more rigid, the top is very flexible and needs to by wiggled around to seat correctly.
Great people to deal with, product fit exactly as they said it would,
shipping was fast and at the door when they said it would be.
I definitely will order more stuff I need from these folks.
Like many others, I found assembly to be...challenging. Something I found helpful was to attach the end supports first (the parts that prop the lid up when opened), BEFORE attaching the lid to the side hinges. The supports hold the lid up and allow some travel to better align holes for the hinges. Oh, I still had to get my legs inside the box for leverage and enlist the help of my 11 year-old son, but at least the lid didn't keep falling on my head while I did it!
Contrary to other reviews I've read all over the web, I did not find the lid or base to be flimsy. When assembled, the carrier felt fairly solid. Mounting is incredibly easy using the factory rails from Subaru.
Regarding size, I was pleasantly surprised by the amount of room in the interior, as well as the wide opening when loading. We're mounting this on top of our 2009 Subaru Outback and it is making a significant impact on the amount of stuff that usually winds up piled in the kids' laps during trips.
Overall a great product, a fantastic value, and the perfect solution to short or mid-range vacations. I would definitely recommend the Thule Sidekick to friends and might even offer to help with assembly...maybe.
Thule website said this fit my 2014 Subaru Outback. Not quite.
I had to add two holes (one for each side) to get the rear clamp to work for the bar spread.
It does swallow a lot of gear, so thumbs up.
Also, got a little bit of water inside the box driving through a down pour in North Carolina.
Replaced a Yakima RocketBox that was just way too long for this car, and had similar issues on the road.
Quick shipment from etrailer.
I received my product in an excellent, timely manner. This is the second time I have used etrailer and I would recommend them highly for future use.
A good carrier and filled my needs. You definitely need two people to assemble it. Fits good on the car. Good valve for the money
We used this product for a family vacation to South Carolina. It did the expected job.
cargo carrierI really like my cargo carrier once it was assembled but attaching the top to the bottom half was quite difficult. Now that it's done I am very happy with it.
Great unit for the price. I've taken thing on a few trips now with great success. It's traveled a couple thousand miles on top of my Subaru outback and has made vacationing much nicer. Then when we get home it's easy to take off and store
Great car top carrier. A bit tricky to assemble. You definitely need someone to assist. Holds a good amount of stuff and fits on top of my Ford Escape nicely.
Easy to assemble, good quality, too, but this is definitely designed for a sub-compact or just small type vehicle. I ordered thinking would be large enough for a 7 (seven) passenger van, and it wasn't large enough but for a few small pieces of our luggage. Just ignorance on my part. I will definetly order something else larger from your company. This was good quality for anyone.
Received product on date as indicated. Was disappointed that product was not in inventory when ordered??? Assemble was easy. Hinge installation need definitely two people. Screws for hinges in package not the same as in guide sheet, thus little gray capes for outside don't fit!!!
I once had an old Yakima Cargo Box (white on top & gray bottom) & I backed out of my car port w/its lid open~~of course, I totaled it! So, I chose the small Thule Cargo Box & was disappointed in its construction. 1). The box was very flexible due to its light construction. 2). The box comes w/two locks. Couldn't get the rear lock to catch because either the lock-arm was too short or the catch mechanism was riveted too low. Anyway my Yakima was of sturdy plastic which I had for a number or years. It held about 15 cubic feet of gear instead of the 8 that this product holds. I wouldn't recommend this product to any of my friends.
Item was received as scheduled and exactly as described on line. I have purchased a number of items from etrailer and I am very satisfied with the products and service provided
Best price I found on this item. Very fast shipping. The Thule Sidekick is a good box for the price. It seems a little flimsy at first but is sturdy when monted to my roof racks. Have taken it on a couple of test runs and it did great. Easy to put together with a helper. I have a 2011 Honda Element and it lines up perfectly with the factory roof racks. Great for the occasional user. Sure beats the almost $500 price tag on the Honda factory box.
after owning thule cargo box for a year i have no complaints. It holds so much stuff that it really frees up lots of room in your vehicle for passengers or what ever else you have . Latches and locks work good,light weight & easy to switch from one vehicle to another. I also have a curt hitch on my crosstrek that i ordered from e-trailer. like your fast shipping and very helpful instructional videos. e-trailer is a great company.
