Comments about Thule Force XL Roof Box:

Use this Thule on a 2007 Jeep Liberty. Surprisingly quiet on the freeway. Has a huge amount of room. We carry 2 kids in the back seat, a dog in the cargo area, and typically have a rear mounted cargo rack. We bought this to gain better access to the cargo area since our rear mount won't allow the rear door to open. We love it. Took it on a couple 200 miles trips so far and plan to take it on several 700-800 mile trips this summer. Absolutely the best solution for our packing needs.

Not good

Comments about Thule Force XL Roof Box:

As with the previous reviewer, at highway speeds the leading edge of the carrier would lift and open a one inch gap. First time we used it it was raining and obviously the contents got wet. We could see the front of the carrier thru the sunroof window. It would open at about 60mph and would then close when slowing down. Was being used on a 2007 Honda Odyssey. The carrier must be properly closed to remove the key so it was not user error.

REI was totally great about accepting it as a return and we purchased the (more expensive) Thule Sonic XL and have not had any problems with it.

Comments about Thule Force XL Roof Box:

Does not stay shut at highway speeds, wind forces front and back of box to open a gap of a few inches. The hinges that allow opening of the box from either side do not provide enough force to keep the box completely closed at 60+ mph.

Comments about Thule Force XL Roof Box:

I am very happy with this product. We purchased the Thule Force XL to free up space in our SUV. Installation couldn't be easier. So far, we've used the cargo box for 5 ski trips; the container easily holds gear for 4 skiers, and then some. We did find out that the container is not completely water tight, but pack accordingly, and that's not much of an issue. Looking forward to warm weather usage (camping, beach)!
