ABS construction is both durable and UV-resistant. However, we would like to note that the lid is pretty flimsy. The ergonomic handle is easy to open and close, and it latches smoothly. There are various holes in the bottom, and while you can use vinyl stickers, they come off easily.
The locking mechanism is average. The appearance is nice and sleek, coming in a neutral grey color. Mounting it is pretty simple, with the standard U-bolt system.
The price is jaw-droppingly affordable — especially for such a popular brand as Thule. Namely, the serious assembly required around an hour and the sub-par lock system. The Thule box requires the use of two locks rather than one, which can be a bit of a hassle for some although it could theoretically add to the security of your items. Lastly, the Thule top box is pretty flimsy, which can attest to the durability of it overall. The straightforward design is nice and convenient.
We were a bit surprised at how large it was, so if you have a small vehicle make sure to take measurements accordingly. Sure, you could get a trailer, but those are often costly and can be a hassle.
Getting one of the best rooftop cargo carriers or roof box. While all of the products reviewed above are excellent, only one can be the ideal product for your needs. One of the first things to look into when getting a new rooftop cargo box, is the size or capacity. First, consider how large your vehicle is. If you have a Smartcar, obviously your options are pretty limited. If you have an SUV or Jeep , you will have quite a few options to choose from.
Choose the size from there. When considering the car roof storage box for you, also think about the shape of it. This will reduce wind noise, and also make sure your gas goes the farthest it can. Taller cargo boxes will create drag, and during long road trips, choosing the more low-profile product could seriously save you some money. Your roofer will secure the frame from inside the attic then drill holes in each corner of the frame right to the exterior of the house.
Working from the outside he will use these four holes as a marker to create a rough hole of where the vent is to be installed. He will cut through the siding and sheathing to create the hole for the vent. He will add felt paper around to hole to add a layer of water proofing, lapping it over the existing felt paper. A turbine vent draws air from inside the attic as wind turns the turbines.
This is most effective in areas where winds average at least five miles per hour, or otherwise will not offer the most effective, reliable source of venting. The installation of a turbine vent is nearly identical to a static vent.
A roofer will, from the attic, mark a spot near the ridge of the roof he may first use nails from the attic to mark preferred spots between two rafters. From the roof, the roofer will cut away shingles and underlayment , and use a saber saw to cut a hole the same size as the diameter of the vent.
The roofer will then nail the base in place with galvanized roofing nails and cover nail heads with roofing cement. A powered exhaust vent is much like a roof-mounted exhaust fan. It can be controlled by a thermostat or moisture monitor. Blades spin within the unit to expel air from the attic until the right temperature or moisture level is reached, at which point it will automatically shut off.
From inside the attic, your roofing professional will drive a nail about one third of the way down from the ridge between two rafters to mark the desired spot for installation.
From the roof, he will cut a hole the same size as the diameter of the vent. As with static and turbine vents, he will then secure the flange under the top-side layer of shingles, lay the flange on top of the bottom shingles and use roofing cement or manufacturer-recommended waterproofing materials to seal the unit.

He can also feel confident neither the roofing system nor the contents of the attic will be victim to the destructive effects of condensation so common to poorly ventilated roofs.
