Updated Locking Mechanism!

This is my second Thule rooftop carrier box. The first is still functional, yet failing slowly as the locking mechanism is failed on one side. I was skeptical to purchase a new carrier considering this design flaw on the older carrier. However, upon inspection of the mechanism on the new Force 3 I purchased, Thule has done a good job beefing up the locking mechanism and removing the design flaw from previous versions.

Locks Don't Work

I bought the Thule before the holiday ski trip and on the day of departure, both locks were frozen (minus 3 Celsius). The key would not penetrate into either of the locks. I used a hair dryer to melt the lock, which worked. Arrived at my destination and both locks were once again impenetrable without another hair dryer session. Finally, when I returned home, the locks were once again frozen. I have owned several Thules in the past, and have never had this issue in freezing weather; however, when both locks don't work, it is not a good sign. I will be returning this product for sure.

Please Change The Owners Manual!!!!

This cargo box is great, but the owners manual is the worst I’ve ever seen for ANY product!!! There are pages and pages of drawings/graphics, but drawings alone are not always clear and helpful. I have no idea what some of them mean! It wouldn’t take much more effort to add a sentence or two to explain the instructions or warnings that go along with the graphics/illustrations and it would be extremely helpful!

Just The Right Size

Shopped quite extensively before selecting this particular unit. I had specific size requirements on the top of my sprinter van, and this one fit perfectly. Installation was straightforward and the fit on my roof looks perfect. I like the fact that it opens from both sides, although I use one side more than the other. It really finishes the attic space of our home.

Perfect Size! Love The Added Features

The size is perfect for us. The added ability to open from either side is great. Easy to install as well.
