I really like this bag. Fits basket! And you can stuff a lot into it. Not hard to take on and off. We did not have any issues with rain either!



by:

The waterproof outer shell quickly (after a couple months) developed small holes/cracks that slowly seep water in the rain. The bag therefore lost its water resistant feature. Otherwise the bag is easy to install, lightweight (compared to hard shell alternatives), and I found it reasonably easy to access, open, and close. Before the small holes, the bag was water resistant. I took it on a trip in the rain and there were no leaks.



by:

I bought this for a trip going from southern CA to Eugene OR. We used this with our Honda Odyssey with factory side rails only. We used it for our luggage because we placed bicycles inside the cargo space in our van. I would say we used about 75-80% of the cargo capacity of the bag. Didn’t notice too much wind noise. The fuel economy seemed to drop 1 maybe 2 mpg. We averaged 70-75 mph. I think when you have headwind is where you’ll notice a drop, otherwise I didn’t see much change cruising around 65-70.
We also encountered heavy rain on the freeway once we were in Oregon. When we arrived at our destination, the contents in our luggage was dry, however the floor of the bag was moist.
I also have used this for our 4Runner when we go camping to store extra items such as a plastic tote bin, tents, and other small bags.

The straps work really well to secure the bag.
It is easy to set up and remove from the vehicle when not in use.
It’s easy to clean.

Only concern would be if you stopped over night at a hotel, there is no security to keep anyone from opening the bag. I suppose you could add a luggage lock to the zipper, but just something to consider…

So far this has worked really well and highly recommend this product.



by:

The cargo bag has stood up to weather and hard use. No leaks, tears or broken zippers. Great product. Wish it were larger!

Holding up well to hard use. Great product



by:

I bought this just over a year ago. I travel full time pulling a travel trailer and have had the Thule Interstate cargo bag on the roof sitting in a Thule Canyon XT cargo basket. The reason I purchased this bag over others is that it doesn’t use soft PVC in its construction. Soft PVC has a demonstrably harmful impact on all living organisms and the planet, from its production to the final product. It’s toxic through and through. The Thule bag uses a TPE lining, which is much safer on every level. I commend Thule for using it. Unfortunately, after less than a year of use, this bag proved incapable of protecting its contents from rain. Everything inside gets soaked after a rainfall. The items I’d stowed in it, e.g. camp furniture, solar panel, are now secured in the cargo basket and exposed, because at least then they can dry out afterwards. I wish I could, but because of its inability to keep it’s contents dry, I can’t recommend this cargo bag.



by:

I’ve used this bag on a few camping trips. Bag is very high quality, including zippers, canvas, and straps. The bag has so far shown no signs of wear. It’s easy to strap onto my 2017 Toyota Highlander, which only has cross bars and no side rails. Fits tent, 4 sleeping bags, 2 air mattresses, 2-4 pillows and a few extra items. My only minor gripe is the difficulty in loading while on top of an SUV. It’s like stuffing a pillow case on top of your vehicle.



by:

I have been very pleased with the luggage carrier I purchased. After a year of use, it has fulfilled all my needs and held up to expectations of being durable, weatherproof and ease of installation. Also, I remember the excellent customer service I received when making my purchase a year ago. A great product paired with outstanding customer service is why I definitely give etrailer a 5 star review!



by:

Great knowledgeable service. When the endcaps on my roof rack were not in the package they were sent very quickly.



by:

Amazing bag, it survived a crazy storm with cross winds; Everything inside was dry including two laptops. There was some moisture in the inside of the front of the bag but for that kind of storm I was expecting it to be worst. Two of my friends riding with me were going to buy a bag for their vehicles.



by:

The customer service at a e-trailer is fantastic I was in a time crunch and Teresa was able to get my order to me in 2 days. She was great ! Thule products rock built to last.



by:

Traveled for approximately 22 hrs with this item through rain and wind, empty and filled to the max. Never leaked, held up great and is ready for another adventure!



by:

Prompt service. Product exactly as ordered. Would definitely recommend e-trailer :)



by:

Yes! We are very happy with our purchase.
Thank
you!



by:

It’s still working great!



by:

The product was exactly what we wanted. In addition the response time from order to acceptance was spectacular--very speedy.

I've used this once and it met my expectations. We will use this rooftop bag once or twice per year. I have not used it in rainy weather so I cannot say anything about the water resistance. It seems like a quality item. The seams, zippers and fabrics are sturdy. It is a bag that straps on to your cars roof rack. It does free up space inside the car. Thule nailed it.



by:

For the most part this is a good cargo bag. Easy to install and remove. Only issue is zipper has broken



by:

Product is as advertised. At 13 cubic ft it is not big. It is easy to attach and rode securely for 1300 miles. It is not waterproof, but it does not claim to me. Stow in a small package when not in use.

  • Will the Thule Roof Top Cargo Bag Part # TH869 Fit a 2013 Acura MDX With Side Rails
    The Thule roof top cargo bag # TH869 you referenced isn't listed as a fit on your 2013 Acura MDX. What I recommend is the Rightline Sport rooftop cargo bag # RL100S30 because it will mount on bare roofs, roof racks or cargo baskets on SUVs or minivans. It has 18 cubic feet of cargo room and it's weatherproof. See picture to the right. I would run the included straps through your 2013 Acura MDX interior and then out around the carrier. You can attach the straps to your existing side rails. A...

  • Roof Top Cargo Bag Recommendation for a 2009 GMC Yukon Denali
    The Thule Interstate Rooftop Cargo Bag # TH869 that you referenced is designed to fit vehicle crossbars or raised side rails. If you have raised rails or crossbars on your 2009 GMC Yukon Denali you would be good to go with this bag and wouldn't need anything else to install it on your roof. If you don't have raised rails or crossbars you would instead want the Rightline Sport 3 XL Rooftop Cargo Bag # RL100S30. This bag can fit all roof styles. I also recommend a protective pad, # RL100650,...

  • Best Cargo Bag for the Thule Canyon XT 859XT on a 2017 Volkswagen Golf Alltrack
    The Thule Interstate Rooftop Cargo Bag part # TH869 would fit perfectly inside of the Thule Canyon XT Roof Cargo Basket part # TH859XT and allow for you to transport additional cargo on your roof without too much of a concern for it getting wet. The base has padding so there won't be any issues with wear from the cargo basket and the inside of the bag has compression straps so you can make sure all of your gear stays in place. It also has some of the most advanced water-resistance features....

  • Does Thule Interstate Bag Fit in Thule Canyon Cargo Basket
    Yes, the Thule Interstate Cargo Bag part # TH869 would easily fit in the Thule Canyon part # TH859XT. The bag is also water resistant which means in a light rain the contents of the bag would stay dry but a heavy rain would allow water in. Either way it's a good idea to wrap your cargo in a plastic bag.

  • Can Thule Interstate Rooftop Cargo Bag be Used on Panoramic Sun Roof
    Even with the Malone AirFlow2 Roof Rack # MPG215 on your 2019 Jeep Cherokee you do need to use a basket like the Inno Shaper # INXA568 with the Thule Interstate Rooftop Cargo Bag # TH869 because otherwise part of the bag would rest on the panoramic sunroof and that would be dangerous.

  • Recommended Roof Basket and Cargo Bag for 2016 Toyota Highlander
    For a roof basket to mount onto the factory crossbars of your 2016 Toyota Highlander, I highly recommend the Rhino-Rack Roof Mounted Steel Cargo Basket # RMCB. This is a great, heavy-duty steel cargo basket that will provide a weight capacity of 165 pounds. It will fit with the factory crossbars on your Highlander as long as they are no wider than 3-1/2 inches or more than 1-1/2 inches in height. It also needs a crossbar spread (distance between the two crossbars) of 21 to 30 inches. This...

It has a water-resistant construction to keep your gear dry and a padded base that will protect your CR-V's roof from any scratches or dents.

    The best cargo box is definitely going to be a Thule, and there are a number that I have confirmed will fit the factory crossbars of your 2017 Honda CR-V. The biggest issue is going to be antennae interference because even the shortest rooftop cargo box that fits, the Thule Sidekick Roof Mounted Cargo Carrier Box # TH78GC, is 54 inches long and may interfere with your antenna. The Sidekick cargo box would be your best option in regards to fit, with the 67 inch long Thule Pulse Medium Rooftop...

  • Recommended Roof Bag for Thule Canyon XT Roof Cargo Basket
    For a bag to use with your # TH859XT I recommend the Thule Interstate Rooftop Cargo Bag # TH869.

This has 16 cubic feet of space with a TPE construction and IP-X3 water resistance rating to keep your gear dry.

  • Selecting Rooftop Cargo Bag for 2005 Honda CR-V
    Thule's Interstate Rooftop Cargo Bag # TH869 is designed to fit on just about any vehicle that has either a roof rack or factory-installed raised roof side rails that run front-to-back on the roof. Either of these vehicle features provides the necessary attachment point for the bag. If you do not have any structure on the roof to secure the bag then your options are to install a roof rack to hold the bag, or to use a different cargo bag that can be installed on a vehicle without cross...

  • Roof Mount Cargo Bag for a 2011 Toyota Sienna
    If your 2011 Toyota Sienna has the factory crossbars that run side to side on the roof then the Thule Interstate cargo bag # TH869 will fit. If your Sienna just has the side rails that run front to back then this bag will not fit. Instead I recommend the Rightline, # RL100S20, which will work with just side rails. For any of the bags I recommend protective cover # RL100650. It will not only protect the vehicle roof but it will also help keep the bag from sliding around while traveling.

  • Do Roof Mounted Cargo Bags Have to Fit In Between Roof Rack Crossbars on a 2009 Mazda 5
    When mounting a cargo bag to the roof of a vehicle the best way to keep the bag from sliding back and forth during starts and stops is to have the bag mounted between the crossbars. Depending on how full the Thule Interstate bag, # TH869, is, you may be able to fit it in between the bars. Otherwise, the bag is long enough and rigid enough at the ends that it should not just ooze over the bars at the ends. I have included a link to a video review and another link to all the roof mount bag...

  • Will the Thule Interstate Cargo Bag part # TH869 Keep Cargo Dry
    I wouldn't recommend waterproofing spray for the Thule Interstate Cargo Bag part # TH869. As long as you aren't driving through a hurricane this cargo bag should keep your cargo dry as it is considered weather resistant. In order for it to be considered water proof it would need be able to be submerged and keep water out. You can also put your cargo in a plastic bag before putting it in the bag to help keep water out as well.

  • Recommended Bag for Thule TH859XT Canyon Roof Mounted Cargo Basket
    The interior dimensions of the Thule Canyon # TH859XT cargo basket are about 39 x 36 inches, so for the most cargo carrying ability you'll want to find a bag of that approximate size. At 40 x 38 inches, the Thule Interstate cargo bag, part # TH869 would be a good choice. It's soft sided, so even though it's an inch longer and 2 inches wider than the interior dimensions of the basket, it'll still fit very well. The bag has a sloped front face for better aerodynamics and provides 16 cubic...

  • Is Thule Interstate Cargo Bag for Thule Canyon Basket Waterproof
    The Thule Interstate roof bag part # TH869 that can be used with the Thule Canyon XT cargo basket part # TH859XT is considered weather resistant. What this means is that it's going to keep the contents of the bag dry when it's raining but if you were to submerge the bag in water (not likely to happen when on your roof...) it would let water in. To be cautious we do recommend putting items that have to be kept dry in plastic bags as an insurance policy.

It is not designed as lockable, but with a couple pad locks from a local home improvement store you could lock the zippers.

  • Securing Excess Strap When Installing the Thule Interstate Cargo Bag # TH869
    The side anchoring rings referred to in the instructions for cargo bag # TH869 are just the loops for the straps on the side of the bag. The idea is to keep the strap from flapping around in the wind so really any way you can secure the excess will be fine. The bag is not meant to be placed on the roof sideways.

You could still use both but part of the bag would ride on top of the bars and it is not an ideal situation. None of the roof racks have a bar spread that would be wide enough but I have another solution. Instead of using this bag you could use a different bag that does not require a roof rack at all and actually save...

    I contacted our representative and she informed that you can install the Thule Interstate Cargo Bag, part # TH869, to crossbar spreads that are less than 40 Inches. To do so, you would secure the straps to the crossbars and the side rails and then drape the bag over the rear crossbar. You will want to consult your vehicles owners manual or your Acura dealer to see if moving the crossbars is acceptable or recommended by Acura.
