Fantastic . . . except for one small thing August 9, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I'd read other reviews so was ready for some challenges assembling the cargo box, but with minimal help steadying it, it went together just fine. At 16 lbs. it's light enough for me to put on my Outback by myself - and I'm a 5'4" woman who's pushing 70, although in good shape.
I had a question for Tech help about keeping it on my vehicle for several months at a time that they answered promptly online.
BUT . . . one small part was missing. Fortunately it was cosmetic, holding on one of the small bolt caps on the outside, because I have yet had a response from customer service, in spite of leaving word to call me 5-6 times. You get put on hold forever, and after 30 minutes or so you give up and leave a message as they keep suggesting. I was also automatically offered the opportunity to buy replacement parts, but no way I'm going to do that. It's their fault they didn't sent it, and they need to replace it.
 Great system August 7, 2008
Ditto other customers who had positive feedback. We just got back from taking this box and the four bags (sold seperate) to the Grand Canyon from Central Texas. It worked great. Four full bags were a little tight, but the weight is only supposed to around 100 pounds. Assembly was quick when you follow the instructions (hint, hint :>). Get the bags to go along with it they are very sturdy. Many people write the box is flimsy..it's supposed to be lightweight so they can put they heavy junk inside.
 FAR, FAR TOO COSTLY FOR THE QUALITY August 3, 2008

This cargo box is attractive and very lightweight, but quality, and probably durability, is cut dramatically in order to achieve that end. My biggest concern with this is the way the arms that hold the top up are attached. The ball joint is inserted into a simple plastic joint, which is far too flimsy. If this item cost only $50, that weak construction would be expected, but it is not acceptable for an item this expensive.
Thule Sidekick fits my Matrix perfectly July 7, 2008

I recently downsized to a 2009 Toyota Matrix to learn thay my old cartop carrier could not be installed without a huge hassle. The Thule Sidekick installed in about five minutes, fits the Matrix perfectly, and provides the extra storage capacity needed for longer trips, camping, etc.
sidekick July 5, 2008
The sidekick held up great at freeway speeds and gave us the extra storage space we needed. Amazon has the best price on this unit.
