5.0 out of 5 stars Satisfied Skier, March 19, 2009

Installation on factory roof rack is very user friendly; dial type clamps are easy to position correctly and hold very securely. Box is very stable even at highway speeds--no vibration or rattling and relatively minor wind noise. Dials for clamps infringe a bit on interior box space but convenience of the clamps makes the tradeoff worthwhile. Will hold 3 to 4 pr of alpine skis comfortably.

I purchased the Thule Rooftop Cargo Box after seeing them on so many vehicles on my travels across the U.S.. The 603 Ascent 1500 was selected as the size and shape fit my camping needs to a "T". Once I received it and opened the box I was skeptical as it is very light, but feeling confident with the numbers of them in use, I mounted it to my 2001 Subaru Outback. Wow! Easy and Quick! No brainer there! Then it was off to Washington State an over 2100 mile trip.
Well, I am back and only have enthusiastic phrase for this fabulous cargo box! High winds at 75 mph and rain didn't phase it one bit! As far as my gas mileage, I really think it increased! I get 25 mpg normally and I averaged just over 24 mpg! That includes going through the Rockies several times and the high wind on the nose driving! I don't believe I did that well without it. This is a Great Product and I am sure you will be pleased as well! Purchase it, you won't regret it! Amazon gave great service and shipping!

Well worth it for the extra space or skis and boards. Out-of-the box had it on my Nissan Pathfinder in 5 minutes, great latching design. My guess is that it will fit almost all autos with cross bar roof racks. Loads of space, does seem a but long, the 1600 is a bit shorter and might look more proportional to my Pathifinder, this 1700 is probably best for the Tahoes, Escalades, and Yukons out there. In any case, awesome product, and Amazon has the best price and arrived (via some shipping company, not UPS) in about three days, pretty fast. No shipping issues for me.
