This cargo box is indeed a great value.
I couldn't be happier with this cargo box. It's simple and inexpensive, but it is also well designed and solid. Huge extra space!

Didnt open box to see it because car it was going on was totaled but couldn't afford to return it. Bought it through Walmart.com and they wouldn't do a return either. Customer service sucks.

    Overall, I'm completely satisfied with my carrier.
    It was a huge box but the carrier fit perfect on my vehicle. There were other sizes but this 18 cubic foot did the job I was looking for. The hardware was easy to install and fits securely.

    Okay but not great
    Plastic is pretty pliable not a hard plastic at all, will work though and has so far took on a long trip worked awesome. Just will definitely not keep anyone who wants in, out.

    Total redesign needed-waste of time and money
    Returned it. Piece of junk! The cutouts for the cam locks are big circles, no way this thing will lock securely. The braces to hold it open are just metal arms with notches that use a small ball to hold it in place. These arms do not grip and if you bump it while loading, they fall down and the entire unhinged top falls off.

    Ok for the price
    Its ok for the money; however, you better have a 3-step stool or stepladder on each end of your trip in order to load and unload the carrier. Free delivery was great- ordered on Saturday and received on wed.

    Can't go wrong this this car top carrier
    This roof top carrier was exactly what I needed. Large and easy to install. I travelled from NY to FLA traveling 70 mph and didn't even know it was attached. I did put ratchet straps for extra security and it was perfect. I didn't encounter any rain, but I covered the extra holes inside just incase. I would highly recommend this product, you can spend hundreds more but absolutely no reason to buy an expensive brand just for the name!

    A great value for the price - with plenty of space
    Larger than I anticipated. Thickness of the shell is good enough for most uses. Ability to open in either direction is a nice plus. Only issue we've had is the front vibrates up and down above 60mph unless you've got a lot of weight in the front of the bin, or you strap the front with a bungee chord to hold it in place at high speeds. Overall a great value for the money.

    Need Two Hands, Maybe a Ladder
    Easy to install, big! The only thing that's a little weird about this is that there's no pistons holding it open when you use it - instead it's a sort of awkward (especially for something that is on top of a vehicle) manual mechanism with metal arms at the fore and rear ends of the box. For the price I can't complain too much but if you don't have access to a ladder at the places where you load and unload, you may have issues using this one.

    Great box, low noise, SAFE!
    Great box. Easily fit two checked bags of luggage with room for a folding crib and some bedding. It did increase wind noise at highway speeds, but wasn't nearly as bad as I expected. Setup was easy, just drilled a couple holes (pre marked by manufacturer) to make it fit the roof bars and was good to go. It also kept all my items safe in when I was rear ended and my car was totaled ($24k in damage). The box did such a good job holding onto the roof bars that it actually twisted the roof frame of the car rather than break and send my stuff flying across the highway! I would recommend this box to anybody who needs extra space for a trip.

    Don't waist your money
    I used this 3 times, on my 3rd trip we were around 200 miles into our trip when I heard a loud noise and when I looked in the mirror I saw the top being run over by a semi!! Yes it was locked and latched!! Just a very poor product! And to boot Walmart won't do anything for me!!

    It will come in handy
    The mountings do not line up properly but a little work and elbow grease made it work.

    Pretty good purchase
    Worked well on a weekend camping trip. Didn't fit our highlander so we had to adjust the openings underneath. Wish we had been able to tell which vehicles it fit before we purchased. But after our adjustment, it went on easy without tools, loaded and unloaded without too much difficulty, and stayed put on the roof. It's noisy with wind resistance but no more than expected. Glad we bought it

    Exceeds my expectations based on the price.
    Excellent carrier for the money, 18 cu ft was larger than I expected, but the room comes in handy. Use it to carry large, light weight, bulky items when I camp such as sleeping bags, pillows, jackets, etc. Drove through two rain storms and everything inside was dry when I got home. Did not want to spend $500 - $700 for a Yakima or other brand name in that I will only use it 3 - 4 times a year. Rides nice as well, no wind noise.

    AiRight -- Product of USA
    AiRight -- a fine product after one 600-mile drive. It arrived before it's due date. Good capacity. Light weight. Reasonable to install with eight turnbuckle nuts on my Subaru Outback with a roof rack. I did have to drill alternate holes for the front. Be careful with the steel plates. Make sure it is flat on the plastic carrier. There are rigidity expressions. Do not over tighten. They did not send bit dimensions in their documentation. The lock/hinges could work smoother, but I figured it out. We had a road emergency. Somebody else's ambulances for a mid road crash (which needed an ABS save). All our family was safe. Everything in the JEGS was fine. You get what you pay for and the Cargo Carrier is a good investment. I look forward to it's years of help in my travels -- SW Washington DC

    Missing parts
    There were no attachments for the front bracket, only 4 holes where they should be. The manual shows an attachment for the front. Now I only have one support when the lid is opened. Also gives a spot for rain to get inside the lid
