A little tricky to assemble but not bad (reading the directions ALWAYS helps). Came through 2500 mile road trips with weather without a hitch and holds a lot more stuff than you'd think just by looking at it in a picture.

We ordered it on our way to a vacation destination realizing we really needed one. We had it shipped to that address and received it sooner than we thought which was great. Installation of putting it together could have been a little easier, other than that it was a great purchase.

Very easy to mount on our vehicle, 2009 Hyundai Tucson. Perfect size, did not interfere with antennae. Just completed 3,000 mile trip to Yellowstone - no problems at all. Was worth its weight in gold. Drove thru thunderstorms, some condensation - very minor - everything inside was dry. Would buy again.

We had a larger Thule which carried 16 cubic feet of stuff, but cargo/clothes etc., are like water...they expand to fill the available space. The 682 is 1/2 that size at 8 cubic feet, but holds a great deal of cargo. It's perfect for allowing you to put things you might not need during a trip in the Thule and then not having your car/SUV crammed to the ceiling. We are very pleased with it. Took about 30 minutes to assemble and 30 minutes to put on the car. It is stable on the highway and looks good.

This is a great box for the price! It does everything I need it to do. Installation was simple, would be even easier with two people.Installs and removes from car in under 5 min. I would highly recommend this to anyone not willing to pay the $600+ for other Thule boxes.

Great product; difficult to assemble hinges without 2 people. Looks good and attaches to any roof rack with ease.
