User questions & answers

Question:	will this fit onto my toyota sienna [09] with factory racks and bars
Answer:	We had a 4 hours highway driving in heavy rain all the way to NYC with not a single drop of water entering the box.
Question:	Would this fit a Tesla Model
Answer:	This fits a 2012 Impreza Outback just fine, and you can open the back hatchback. There are slots in the bottom that allow you to move it farther forward or back on the roof as needed.
Question:	Does it stay dry inside/seal out the rain in highway driving
Answer:	Really sorry. We have corrected this data. The correct diamension is 15 cubic feet. Thanks
Question:	Will is fit on a 2007 Subaru Outback? I want to still be able to open the back lift gate
Answer:	It’s large. I fit 2 large suitcases and a bunch of boxes over the new year in this. I left it on the car for 5 days with everything inside and it rained and snowed on the bag. Nothing got wet. I wouldn’t dunk this in water. The zipper will probably leak underwater. There is a protective flap that goes over the zipper. This keeps rain and splashes from other cars from making it to the zipper.

User questions & answers

Question:	Will the XL fit oem 2018 Mazda roof rack
Answer:	On the CX5 versions, yes.
Question:	honda oddessey fit
Answer:	Yes it should fit fine
Question:	Does it fit on an Audi Q
Answer:	My guess is yes, fit my 2017 Allroad perfectly...however, I’d recommend going to the Thule website and using the tool they have to size a carrier to a specific vehicle...excellent tool, will let you see what carriers will fit your vehicle, as well as which support/mounting bars will work...I had to use an Audi Allroad specific crossbar, there are designated mount points on the roof rack...the Q7 may be the same way...(the bar was however a Thule item...)

User questions & answers

Question:	Will the Thule sidekick u-mounts fit on the Thule aeroblade rack bars
Answer:	does the 2007 Odyssey have a roof rack ? the question is does the plastic part above the rear liftgate pose a problem for the Rightline Cargo bag. I recommend calling the Rightline support team for your question.
Question:	Will it fit ford explorer
Answer:	If you use the roof rack you shouldn't have any problems, I have a '12 Odyssey. I was concerned about this as well and cut the foot out of a sock and ran the straps through this to add somethings softer to rub against the vans paint and plastic. Others state that it is not hard or solid, and I agree, you do need to try and fill the cargo bag up as much as possible to help it keep its shape and the straps to work as designed. As far as weight, I had a large cooler and other items in it, and the only problem I had was lifting the full cargo bag up to be able to get the straps adjusted and onto the back of the van properly, minimum 2-3 person job.
Question:	I am moving across the country, trying to fit as much as possible in my small camry, how many suitcases of clothes could this cargo box hold
Answer:	I've done this across country. Worked great. As always I put my lightweight (sheets, pillows..etc) luggage on the roof and heavier(beach chairs, cart...etc) in the rear bag. Mine is supported with additional straps and rear door straps. You gotta just balance your weight well and not overpack the outside your car. If it's real heavy it needs to go inside the vehicle.
Question:	Will it fit Honda CRV
Answer:	We used this on a 2010 Mazda 5 without a roof-rack and it worked great. We had to criss-cross the straps in the back because our Mazda5 has two bumps along the ridge where you're supposed to hang the clips, so we had to place the clips closer together than what is shown in the example pictures. But we figured it out and it worked great on a 20-hour roundtrip drive with a pretty full load in the bag.

User questions & answers

Question:	Will this fit 2020 Kia Telluride Factory crossbars
Answer:	I don't know, if your car have a roof bars, it's will. If not. Not will work
Question:	Does the Thule kayak roof rack work for a 2012 Toyota Highlander
Answer:	Thanks for checking with Thule - Regretfully not.
Question:	Is the pro xt, t-track compatible
Answer:	It is a very water resistant bag, but not waterproof.
Question:	Is this price for a pair or just one rack
Answer:	It is not built specifically to take a padlock. You're best bet would be to use a luggage lock to lock the two zippers together. That should be enough to keep somebody that is walking by from opening the bag quickly but somebody that is hell bent on getting into the bag would just bypass any lock and cut through the fabric.

User questions & answers

Question:	Will this mount on oem roof bars for a 2010 honda crv
Answer:	Depending on your oem bars, but typically no, most oem bars are somewhat flat. The mounting hardware sold with wheel holder will only fit a standard square or round load bars.Check the Thule web site, there may be an adapter kit available to use with oem bars
Question:	Will this fit a fat bike (26x4" or 26x5") and/or 29+ wheel? Can the arms be bent out to accommodate 135mm spacing
Answer:	John, sorry for late response. Yes on the 26 in, but you will be pushing it on the 29 in wheel (it will fit but will not slide down the slots which allows for secure transport in case you don't tighten the skewers enough). As far as the width goes, the bars tapper down towards the base to about 3.25 in so 4 in wide tires are just not going to fit with wheel sizes 26-29 in. Michael
Question:	Will this fit 15 mm thru axles
Answer:	No, this doesn't work with thru axles.
Question:	Has anyone successfully installed/used these with whispbars? I see that they work with aeroblades, which are slightly less wide. thanks
Answer:	I have 2 of thse installed in thule square bars with zero problems so far, but thats the only bars I have these tried on. I believe that because of the configuration to install them should work on any kind of bar.

User questions & answers

Question:	Will the XXL fit on our 2007 Yukon XL Denali. It said on the official website it wouldn’t
Answer:	I'm not the one who asked this question, but I just submitted a similar one. The answer depends on your definition of 'fit'. I talked to Thule on the phone today. They consider it to work as long as it grabs the crossbars, even if it prevents the rear hatchback door from opening. I had an XXL delivered believing it would work, and it doesn't even come close. I talked to Honda, who installed my roof rack last week, and they made it clear that there's only one option for the arrangement of the crossbars that they install. So it will depend on what size you order, and whether or not you need to be able to open the rear door while the carrier is on the car. Thule referred me to a chart where you need to measure from the front crossbar to rear door when it's open. The XXL and the XL are not going to allow the door to open. The L is still undetermined for me, I have not figured out if I should order one or not, the measurement is very close to the max allowable, and the chart doesn't make it clear exactly where you're measuring from.
Question:	Will the thule force xt rooftop cargo box fit my 2019 subaru ascent
Answer:	will fit on any vehicle w/ Thule type cross bars & some factory cross bars. If factory cross bars check Thule fit guide to see if it fits Xterra cross bars.
Question:	Will this fit a 2016 Crv? And do you need special roof rack rails
Answer:	If your referring to leaves falling into the vents between the windshield and the hood, yes it will solve that problem. Although being that the cover is black it will make the interior of the vehicle warm
Question:	Will this box fit a Nissan Xterra
Answer:	This Cover Will Fit a 2017 Ram 1500. Also includes is a strap that attaches together inside the vehicle. Two front straps are included for windy situations. That can be attached to rim or fender wells when needed. Or can be layed on top of cover.

The Interstate fits Thule rack systems, round bars and most factory racks via heavy-duty, double-stitched webbing straps (included). When not in use, the Interstate folds down easily for compact storage--a big advantage over cargo boxes. The Quest attaches to aftermarket and factory installed roof racks and folds down into its included stuff sack for handy storage under a seat when it isn't in use. Heavy-duty molded handles let you throw the Quest around with ease once you reach your destination.
