Excellent product! Performs better than expected!!
I bought my rooftop box about 3 months ago, and at first I was a little skeptical on how well it would perform for the weight I was going to putting in it. I reinforced the bottom with plywood and drilled holes that lined up with the box to support the bottom a little more and I ride with this box loaded down all the time. I am a roadside mechanic and I have a very small car so I had been looking at various types of rooftop boxes Thule, Yakima, Rhino, etc., and they were all a little pricey as I was looking for a somewhat budget friendly option. I just went on a 7 hour road trip from Indiana to Michigan loaded down with all my tools and came back with a couple ricks of wood and another travel bag on top of all the tools that were in the box. Which is what would be considered very overloaded for this box but with the support board on the bottom and distributing the heavy stuff along the crossbars it holds excellent. Never have had a worry with it, and it definitely makes a great road trip box. Now I am not sure if it is a manufacturers defect or just the 2 that I have now gotten but on one side the box stays up perfectly and fits in the designed slots for the locks and the other side has sag to it.(I have pictured below!)I called JEGS customer support about it the first time and explained I had just got the box and it wasn’t looking right, and the first time I had went to prop it up the slipped out of the slot, and almost fell off, but once I repositioned it in; it stays but still with the same sag. Yet so graciously they sent me another one for the manufacturing defect as the customer support representative had explained to me. Then as I received my second and propped it up and everything I just wanted to see if it propped up right again, and it still gives sag on the one side. It’s always the left side. I just didn’t want to call again and be like hey well I know I just called about this but this one’s the same way, because I’m not sure if that’s how it’s just supposed to be or I just got a couple defective ones, but other than that I have had no issues what so ever with this box! I love it!! It really has been a lifesaver!! Thank you JEGS!

2nd review
I reviewed this previously and now that I've had it on my car for a few weeks in rain and windy conditions I can elaborate further.
Pretty easy ro install as I was able to line up roof bars holes in carrier. I had to drill out holes a bit more to easily put the clamps through. I added rubber washers on the outside bottom of carrier to seal the holes the clamps go through. I also added some lock washers inside the carrier to lock the knobs tight.
Driving in normal conditions there is slight wind noise, not too bad. In more windy conditions more noise and you can feel the car wanting to drift more. This is all with an empty carrier. Still wind noise not too bad, sounds like you have a window slightly cracked. We recently had a lot of rain over the past week and carrier stayed dry even though there are gaps around all four locks.
It's nice that the locks act as hinges so you can open on either side and there is a clamp on the front to keep lid closed or from flying off at freeway speeds.
I read other reviews that the locks will sometimes unlock themselves or are a little sticky unlocking or locking them. I did have one time where one lock unlocked by it self upon inspection after opening it from the other side. Hasn't happened since but when opening carrier make sure once you close and lock the side you opened go around and make sure all locks are still in locked position and also clamp front of carrier. Then no worries the lid will fly off when driving.
So far so good. I will probably take carrier and roof bars off when not needed.
Mileage didn't seem to be affected too much but I haven't driven a lot of miles and I have a plug in hybrid so even if mileage dropped I still get great mpg. I have noticed a drop in all electric driving but still not bad and worth the extra cargo space.

LOVE THIS CARRIER FOR CAMPING GEAR
We have a 2017 TOYOTA HIGHLANDER but still needed a bit more room to take along all the camping gear necessary to go GLAMPING with our two dogs. We chose this carrier and have been very happy with it after getting install finished. Unfortunately, the Highlanders already had installed fixed roof rails and they are did not line up with the holes for the attachment brackets. So, I had to do a bit of geometry and drill 4 new holes. I put pieces of duct tape over the pre drilled holes. We have drove approx. 500 miles, on multiple GLAMPING trips in all types of weather. Not a drop of wetness! Sunroof totally usable. Only regret is not being able to go through the automated carwash since I am leaving it on through summer as we go to the campground almost every other week in the summer.

Decent box!
Just stuck this on, was very easy even with having to drill 2 new guide holes. Opening is a bit tricky but manageable. Fits on my '95 Buick Regal. Installed the racks at a 28in offset. This went on no problems, and holds everything previously in the trunk. Definitely recommend.

:Locking issues
We chose to order the 90093 unit because several reviews of the 90098 side lock unit indicated issues with locking difficulty. With the front of the 90093 being hinged and the ability to latch both sides and add locks of our own we felt there would be little chance of the top opening even if the rear lock failed. As it turned out, we were unable to set the rear lock after the unit was loaded. We drilled small holes in the unit and attached cable ties to assure that the rear stayed closed. Good note - we drove 1900 miles and had no issues. And even with windy conditions our Honda CR-V did not suffer a significant drop in gas mileage.

Difficult to lock when loaded, no replacement clip
I have had my box for a few years now. It has done a good job keeping my belongings safe and dry. Unfortunately the u brackets rusted badly before one year and have had to be replaced. The clips that hold the sides down can pop out and have disappeared and JEGS does not offer replacements for that part so for the last two years I have had to use ratchet straps to secure the lid. The box is also extremely difficult to lock at the back when it is loaded, it usually takes multiple tries and a lot of tweaking to get it lined up enough for the lock to catch.

One woman's experience with Jegs
Initial connection from top to bottom was a struggle, but even after completing and mounting, one side still came apart while loading. Bars to keep lid open are difficult to click into and out of. Security with a thin clip was a joke.
Easy mounting u-bars onto car, once I paid to have someone assist me in putting it together first..
