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!

About Thule
To say that Thule’s beginnings in the U.S. were humble would be an understatement. Founding member Ake Skeppner sold products at windsurf competitions on the New England shoreline, exhibited the product line at a number of different trade shows, and even canvassed local retailers in the greater New York area, all from his "office"--a now-famous station wagon. Initial success was found in the small but growing sport of windsurfing where a strong, reliable roof rack was an indispensable piece of equipment. This was quickly followed by success in the ski business where Thule's Swedish heritage certainly helped the product gain rapid acceptance.
By the mid-1980s, the company sold products directly to ski and windsurfing shops but sold through distributors to address the large and growing bike business. A risky decision was made to terminate these distributor relationships and sell direct to retailers through a network of independent sales representatives. Much of the company's market success today can be traced to that decision. Shortly after, Ake hired an engineer and set up a small assembly plant in Elmsford, New York in order to design and manufacture bike carriers that would offer the features demanded by the U.S. consumer and compete effectively with other racks on the market.
The company has since grown rapidly through product innovation, a commitment to quality, and the continuance of a strong entrepreneurial spirit as well as continuing to evolve their products to meet the needs of users.

Delivery Problems - no pen name -
Delivery was a problem - I assumed USP or FedEx would deliver...wrong. Apparently delivery subcontracted to a 'third' party. Thule cargo box was delivered to a major city (ABQ) in a timely fashion, but Thule sat for 5 days before subcontractor attempted delivery. We live in a rural neighborhood. Subcontractor attempted delivery in a full-size 18-wheel tractor trailer. They were unable to do negotiate rural neighborhood roads. Eventually, my wife had to drive to truck location, and transfer Thule to her car. At 'delivery' - cardboard box containing Thule, was damaged.
