In our order confirmation, it says in stock and is prime. It has been 2 weeks since we ordered, and no tracking information has been provided. It has been two times now that we have gotten the runaround. Despite the fact that they claim the item is in stock, they cannot tell us what fulfillment center it's Another thing they said was that we'd receive a shipping confirmation within the next five days... I can't believe it's been two weeks already!
I apologize for the photo you see. That photo is a standard image for the product. Thule did have plans to release an accessory crossbar at one time, but we were unable to come up with
If you have factory installed crossbars on the vehicle, you can attach this to them directly.

Selected User Reviews For Thule Canyon XT Cargo Basket
In the last few days, I have installed it on my Subaru Crosstrek 2014. Together with my girlfriend, it took us about four hours to get this thing on the roof of my car. We got stuck a few times trying to glean some of the instructions, but it wasn't difficult. In addition, neither of us had ever built and secured a roof rack before, so we took our time in order to be sure we did everything right and the roof rack didn't fly off my roof the next day when I had to drive thousands of miles. I love the way it looks, and it feels sturdy at the same time. A little bit of a change is made to driving characteristics. When I was driving on the highway, I felt less sturdy. In the cabin, the most noticeable change was the increased noise of the wind. After a short period of time I got used to it, though initially it was an eye opener. In terms of highway mileage, the figure declined by 2 MPG. In general, I am happy with my life.
There is a flimsy plastic air dam on the rack, which ruins it. I installed the device perfectly on my 17 Outback. It has been used numerous times by us and we have enjoyed its In terms of construction, the basket looks great and mounting hardware is top of the line. The air dam, however, is an absolute The traffic is crooked and bowed down the highway every time I drive it. Although the price tag indicates aluminum in terms of structural or functional necessity, I expected it to be If it were 5 stars, it would get a perfect score. It was a great purchase all in all!.
Despite being solid as a rock, it remained intact! I could tie the bag down a lot on it, and it protected the top of my Jeep from scratching.
As I installed it on a 2019 Rav4, it worked very well, was easy to install, looked good, and was sturdy. The people who complain about wind noise are not kidding when they mention these roof baskets. Even this one is not an exception, although it is a bit more aerodynamic. When it blew, whistled, and howled, it caused the moon to erupt It is not possible to use the roof. Although it is a bit of a trade off for something so functional, it is certainly worth considering. My weight dropped by about two pounds After dragging this into place as well, you should get 3 MPG.
As a result, this product gets 3 stars since it looks great and seems solid enough on my 2017 Crosstrek. The quality of the parts was very poor, however. My brackets were threaded incorrectly, the plastic brackets that attached to the basket itself refused to let at least two screws get through, and the plastic caps that covered all of this had a plastic key that was almost impossible to lock and broke as soon as it was As for the basket itself, it arrived scratched all over the bottom, but I believe that was due to shipping problems. In any case, I installed it because it's a tool to transport equipment and to protect my car from being scratched, so it will still be roughed up. This is the first time I have used it, but I'm hoping it holds because I truly.
THule Canyon XT cargo basket is thick, sturdy, but the wind deflector keeps on warping on both sides. I was surprised that this was an issue for me and if you have any upgrades for the wind deflector let me know.
As a complement to my Thule xporter pro, I bought a Thule cargo rack. It is a typical luggage rack, in that it does not have moving parts and it is fairly easy to put together. The process of attaching to your roof rack is a bit more complicated. This kit's instructions are written so that they are not readable by the illiterate, but just show small pictures that make it harder to understand how it's assembled. The best way to use YouTube videos is to embed them. The most difficult part seems to be spacing the cross bars to the right distance, especially in my case since I also have attached to the xporter a hullavator pro kayak rack. The Xporter Pro from Thule is very expensive for what you get. My primary reason for choosing Thule was because they matched the Xporter Pro. In the process of installation, there were several scratches on the rack. The brackets for attaching the basket to the roof rack are plastic and are part of the assembly holding the basket to the In addition to screwing into plastic, there is no metal nut at the end, and the bolts appear to be very short-lived. A potential safety hazard like this should be addressed. Fortunately, you can purchase four locks to secure your roof to this, but this will cost you The plastic bracket on the lock can also be easily cut with a box cutter, which is another way to defeat the locks. In order to park this on the street, you will have to get a bike lock, or it will most It must be quite profitable for Thule to make I have been given the locks with other racks that I've purchased. As a result, I was very surprised to find out that Thule has such cheap attachments that can wear out and end up posing a safety hazard or allowing the product to be Though I haven't used it yet, I plan to look into purchasing metal brackets to attach it to.
I think this is a perfect match for the Mini Countryman! Mini OEM racks are used for mounting.
