I bought this two years ago, when my in-laws were going to drive with us from LA to Grand Canyon. Put it on top of the Sienna, got 6, then 7 people in, with luggage. It holds lots of stuff. I was afraid of hurting fuel economy and swaying in crosswinds, but I usually couldn't tell the difference at all! I got 20 mpg+, and no handling issues! Since then, I've used it to carry camping gear, which kept the dirt out of the car, and stuff stayed dry in there even driving through rain.

Attaching the driver-side mounts is a stretch from the passenger side, but no big deal. Simple wingnuts to attach it, and hinges and locks work well.

I suppose the materials are maybe cheaper than the Thule or Yakima, but it does everything I ask, for 0 vs. 0-0. I'm totally satisfied, and smile whenever I see those other brands on someone's car!

We used these straps to help hold down a luggage rack and bags. Worked very well! Easy to use! Well worth the money. These straps held down a luggage rack full of bags and they gave us extra peace of mind knowing that the rack was not going to move!!!

We recently purchased and used the SuperMat Roof Mat. It did the job, providing traction and a bit of cushion between the Highland luggage carrier and the roof of our 2005 Honda Pilot. We used it for a 20+ hour round trip from Atlanta to the NC Outer Banks in 95+ degree weather and torrential downpours. I'd recommend this to prevent scratches on the roof as is much cheaper than resurfacing your roof and it appears that it will last a long time.

I bought this roof box and installed it on a 2005 Toyota Highlander. The instructions were simple and easy to read. Just make sure to READ them! I had to move the stock roof rack bars back a few inches, but it was no big deal. The box mounted quickly and easily using the hardware that was included. The box did not interfere with the operation of the sunroof, but it did add a little extra wind noise (and a lot of down-draft) when the sunroof is open. A little tip: after installing the box, make sure it's centered perfectly, then mark the position of the u-bolts with a silver paint marker. This way, you'll always be able to quickly and accurately re-install the Thule Excursion at a moment's notice. Also, make sure you install the rubber "dots" that are enclosed with this box. They are used to cover up the remaining holes that were drilled for other vehicle applications. Failure to do so could result in swampy luggage. One other thing...I chucked the annoying luggage straps that Thule included. After packing this thing with four duffle bags, there was no room left for anything to go anywhere!
Overall performance was good. We noticed a slight dip in gas mileage, but what do you expect?! It was incredibly handy to use this and have some free space in the interior of the SUV for my bicycle...and the family. So far, the box has gone from NJ to West Virginia University and back. It also made it from NJ to TX and back...all without a single problem (approximately 4,500 miles total). It survived an impulsive car wash that my girlfriend subjected it to and not a single leak. The only annoying thing about the box is the interior luggage anchors / u bolt mounts. They seem to snag on EVERYTHING you put inside the Thule Excursion. It's a small gripe and about the only thing I can complain about.
It's a great product and well worth the money. Now stop reading and order it already!

We bought this cargo carrier to use on a long roadtrip (over 10,000 miles and 25 U.S. states), from which we just returned. We have a Subaru Outback wagon with a side- and cross-bar roofrack, and the carrier worked great on this trip. Everything inside stayed completely dry without extra protection through several heavy rainstorms; the carrier fabric, zipper, and straps remain in good shape after 7 weeks of frequent loading and unloading and travel at highway speeds over mountain ranges, through deserts, and across a big range of temperatures, as well as bouncing around on back roads.

The RoofBag works best packed full - which reduces noise as well as wear and tear - and we found that filling the corners with soft odds and ends of baggage helped get a good wedge shape to minimize wind resistance. The strap fasteners are solid and easy to use. We ran a short bungee cord across the front of the bag to help keep the straps from drifting toward the sides of the car, and we added a small padlock to secure the zipper ends when we parked on the street or at a motel. Although the list price is higher, there are online sources selling the RoofBag for about plus shipping.

We bought this carrier 3 months ago and are very happy with it. Living in Florida, we go to the beach often, and this thing is VERY useful.

The carrier fits well on top of our 2009 Dodge Journey w/ roof rack. While not fit for carrying valuables or breakables (no lock, carrier is very flexible, and not water proof), shoving 3 boogie boards and 4-5 beach chairs overhead saves a TON of space inside the vehicle. The strap system works well, allowing you to cinch the carrier down nice and tight so things don't shift much in transit. While it may not be 100% water-proof, we've driven through some torrential downpours and haven't noticed any leaking to date (though for our use so far, this is a non-issue).

When not in use, it folds down to about the size of a small pillow in the supplied storage bag, allowing us to keep the carrier with us at all times, "just in case".

Attaching a string with a Velcro loop on the end to the zipper pulls can make it easier to reach the zippers around the vehicle.

The felt bottom protects the vehicle roof nicely, but be sure it is clean. A clean towel/blanket underneath may be easier to keep clean.

When attaching to the vehicle, make sure the zipper goes around the BACK - with the one non-zippered side facing the FRONT of the vehicle. Having the zipper go around the front may allow (more) water to get in.
