Thule Products are 20% off at REI. (https://www.rei.com/b/thule/c/all)
(QA Note: Sale valid through 9/4)

I've used different products over the years and all have held up phenomenally well.

The ones that changed the travel game for were their compression packing cubes. They quite literally compress to half their size. Highly recommended if you like to travel with carry on only.

For those that picked up REI gift cards a few weeks ago as part of Target deal, it's a great opportunity to double dip, so to speak.

Shipping is free to store or home for members. Free shipping for non-members starts at $50.
If you purchase something through a post on our site, Slickdeals may get a small share of the sale.

I don't always have mine on the roof. When I do I place a sawhorse inside the garage door blocking the way, so I don't forget and do that.
I would HIGHLY suggest FB Marketplace. I was able to find many for as low as $150 in excellent condition. Bought multiple ones in the last 2 years until I kept the one that suits our needs the best.
Yakima has a lifetime warranty, but that covers defects in materials and workmanship, not someone bashing into a low clearance garage. You could probably repair it with epoxy and fiberglass (check out West System [amazon.com]) or bring it to a boat or surfboard guy to fix for you.

new the roof box game, but we want to have one for our new Ford Expedition and looking at the Thule Motion XT XL, but I would like to know all the parts which we need for installation. As of now we don't have roof bars so we need those too (recommendations?) and do we need feet for the crossbars also? forgive the ignorance - thanks

Just space to store it and 2 able bodied people to lift it up and down. It's not that heavy but awkward for one person on a tall vehicle

Off-topic but I wish somebody made one with the capacity of the Sears X Cargo Sport 20 with 20 cu ft.

How did these things affect your gas mileage? Many times I have found my Crosstrek to not have enough storage when doing basic things like grocery shopping. I have a car seat in the back and a stroller I always keep in the cargo, so storage is already at a minimum. I would not be removing the top box ever.
Consider a hitch receiver rack? That will have its own issues but easier to remove.

Hi. I drove my car with a Yakima skybox into a low clearance garage and it cracked the top part. It functions properly, and closes but will no longer be waterproof. Got it from Rei in 2021.

What are my options. Are they repairable or any warranty?
If it's just a crack, you can patch it with thick waterproof vinyl tape.

https://www.amazon.com/Gorilla-4612502-Waterproof-Patch-Black/dp/B07HSKRYQW/ref=sr_1_23?crid=27ZMKNT... [amazon.com]

If there's more structural damage such that it no longer holds its shape, you could patch it with glues designed for the material and thin sheets of plastic on the inside and outside. It would be thicker than before but would be as strong or stronger than new. Using the right glue makes a huge difference; for instance, Weld On 16 works amazingly on acrylics for a stronger-than new bond, but if you use it on an incompatible plastic, it's no stronger than Elmer's school glue.

You can repair it depending if you have the skills.

They have cheaper options on Amazons that are a canvas material. Those are fine for single use. I did that for my trip across country and it was super loud. I've since bought a Thule box and will never look back. So much more convenient.

Good god $750 for a suitcase on a roof rack! All you need is a piece of plywood for base, load everything on top, tarp over the top and strap it down with another piece of play for aerodynamics at the front. Waterproof, can hold most things, and cheap. You can always get some paint for "go fast" stripes Smilie

If the crack is not structural, just get some Oatey medium black ABS cement. It's what the carrier is made of, it'll melt and seal the crack. If there are some structural issues, use the same ABS cement with fiberglass material on the inside. Clean and prep surface for better adhesion. Search YouTube for some example videos.

I had a Skybox 5ish years ago that they wouldn't warranty even though it was a defect that was well known for that model. If I remember right, the rivets around the locks give out so you're forced to drill them out if you want to open it. Doing that you permanently damage the box so you can't just change out the locks for a new set. I was pretty salty from that so I only buy/own Thule now.

Racks ever see more than a 20% discount?

How many cubic feet would I need to put one 1 (2 adults share) large suitcase, and 3 smaller (kids) suitcases?

If you travel once maybe. I've had my Thule carrier and cross bars for well over 20 years now. Durable as hell. Investment well paid off.
