A good box for your wheels

vehicle year/make/model: Mini Cooper

item(s) transported: Skis and gear

I've had a great time so far with my Thule Ascent cargo box. I have a Mini that doesn't always have enough cargo space. Especially when I go skiing with anyone other than myself. With the Ascent, there is always tons of room for all of my gear. When I want to take it off my vehicle, it couldn't be easier. The mounting claws open and close with the turn of a knob. That new hardware is so much better than the old U-bracket with knobs hardware that my old box used. The only thing that isn't perfect is the fact that the hatch door cannot be opened all the way because the end of the box hangs out too far, even when pushed all the way forward, but I do have a Mini afterall. Also like how it locks, which by design makes sure that the box is completely closed.

Great box!

I am quite pleased with the purchase of my Thule Ascent cargo box. It mounted directly to my factory crossbars with the utmost ease. It wasn't necessary for me to adjust my crossbars because the mounting clamps adjust so easily. We've been using the box all summer and it has kept the contents dry even in the heaviest downpours. It opens and closes easily and we have honestly had no problems. Also love the feature that makes you lock the box before taking out the key. This has been a great purchase and I don't know how we ever lived without it!!!
