Trunx Rooftop Cargo Box - 18 cu ft - Black
Save your money and do not buy this product, it's poorly manufactured to say the least. 1), the plastic gauge is way to thin making the final product to flimsy. 2) while the order information asked me for make, model and year of vehicle it did not match factory rail specifications. The factory roof rack system for Honda CRV is not adjustable and the 22 inch spread identified for product does not work for Honda installed roof rack systems. 3) lastly, the hinge design on this unit is poorly designed and will not align without modifications to bend the tabs so that they properly align with the slots. Once again, do not waste your money on this product.
The roof top box is definitely big enough for my all my family's gear, planning a road trip out West that includes some camping along the way. The plastic was a bit flimsier than I had expected and I was NOT impressed with the PLASTIC clamps around the side. I'm not too worried of the lid flying off if a clamp or two breaks - the front of the box locks and there is a pin in the rear hinge - however, I'm packing extra rope just in case. It also appears that the rivets holding the rails and lock to the container are also made of plastic. I do a lot of camping, I'll likely update my review after putting it through a few runs.

Trunx Rooftop Cargo Carrier - 9 cu ft - Black
Has a lot of space, and keeps cargo dry, unlike soft roof bags. Also much more aerodynamicA little difficult to hook up the top clamshell to the front and put in the safety hook. One person has to hold it up while the other person reaches in to put in the clip. Also wish the two clamshells would nest better when disassembled; would make it easier to store in the carage. But overall very satisfied. Mounted on a Toyota Corolla provides enough storage room up top to that the interior of the car is open for long trips, where you need to stop and drop the seat back to sleep for a few hours. All the heavy things (tire cables, food, water, boots, cameras, took kits, etc). go down in the floorboard and trunk to keep the center of gravity low, and all the lightweight things (sleeping bags, clothes, air mattresses, blankets, extra coats, etc.) go up in the roof cargo box.
Customer service goes a long way in my book and how an item is presented on its website I've boughten stuff from etrailer before for my prior truck and always had an amazing experience with Etrailer.this is my first cargo box for my new to me Subaru Impreza sport hatchback and doing research on buying one wasn't easy but etrailer made the process quick and painless with exactly what I needed and dimensions were spot on and instructions were perfect couldn't be any more happier with my purchase.the trunx's brand box perfectly compliments my car and looks awesome on it thanks again etrailer you guys rock
