Limited lifetime warranty About Thule
To say that Thule’s beginnings in the U.S. were humble would be an understatement. Founding member Ake Skeppner sold products at windsurf competitions on the New England shoreline, exhibited the product line at a number of different trade shows, and even canvassed local retailers in the greater New York area, all from his "office"--a now-famous station wagon. Initial success was found in the small but growing sport of windsurfing where a strong, reliable roof rack was an indispensable piece of equipment. This was quickly followed by success in the ski business where Thule's Swedish heritage certainly helped the product gain rapid acceptance. By the mid-1980s, the company sold products directly to ski and windsurfing shops but sold through distributors to address the large and growing bike business. A risky decision was made to terminate these distributor relationships and sell direct to retailers through a network of independent sales representatives. Much of the company's market success today can be traced to that decision. Shortly after, Ake hired an engineer and set up a small assembly plant in Elmsford, New York in order to design and manufacture bike carriers that would offer the features demanded by the U.S. consumer and compete effectively with other racks on the market. The company has since grown rapidly through product innovation, a commitment to quality, and the continuance of a strong entrepreneurial spirit as well as continuing to evolve their products to meet the needs of users.

 Thule 846 Quest Rooftop Carrier - Great to Have |
| Review Date: September 17, 2007 |
| Reviewer: Donna Castellano, Westchester County, NY |
Purchased this as a last minute item when we realized we did not have enough room in the van for all our stuff and kids for a road trip. We were very pleased with the Thule 846 Rooftop Cargo bag. It is soft, so its easy to get "Stuff" in there. We were pleasanlty surprised by the amount of items it actually held.
Drove through wind and rain.. remarkbly, nothing inside was wet.
Easy to hook up. Everything is built in, attaches directly to roof with straps. We found it easier to fill the bag on the ground then lift it to the roof; This option requires strong, tall men though! |

We are a family of five and travel from mid-Ohio to mid-Kansas semi-annually in a Ford Windstar. Due to the kids getting older and bigger we needed more room in the van. After looking at several different toppers I decided to try this one. I am very pleased with it and would recommend it to anyone needing extra space in their vehicle. This past holiday season we made our trip to Kansas with this carrier attached to the top, which by the way is very easy to do. We traveled through freezing temperatures, rain, and wind. Upon arrival there was a little water inside the carrier but because the instructions highly recommended putting items in plastic bags, which we did, nothing got wet. The carrier remained secure through the headwinds, crosswinds, and even the sudden gusts of wind produced by passing trucks.
If I ever have to buy another carrier, it will be this one. |
Great Bag

| Great product at a great price! We considered a more expensive, hard shell cargo carrier, but didn't want the hassle of storing it when it wasn't in use. This Thule rooftop bag is durable and conveniently stores in a small bag we carry in the back of the car. |
