Thule Force Roof Cargo Carrier Review - 2012 Mazda 3- Video

Thule Force Roof Cargo Carrier Review - 2012 Mazda 3

Today on our 2012 Mazda 3, we're doing a test fit of the Thule Force Medium Size Rooftop Cargo Box, this is 13 cubic feet, and it's made out of an aero skin black finish. The part number for it is TH624. We already have 3 of our 4 clamps down and secured, we're going to show you how we do this last one here at the front on the passenger side. What we'll start by doing is making sure our left side is locked. We'll unlock our right side here, and we're just going to lift up on our box. I'm going to step up into my vehicle, you can see our clamps there. A great thing about these clamps is that they do move up and down the track to fit whatever crossbar spread you may have, so we've got it right in the center, so our clamps are going to fit just snug around our bar. more

Inno  Roof Cargo Carrier Review - 2015 Mazda 5

Today in our 2015 Mazda 5, we're going to be taking a look at the Inno Shadow Series cargo box, part number INBRA1250BK. As you can see we have it mounted up on our roof rack system but we still have one more foot to place in there. This is a memory mount which is exclusive to Inno design and the nice thing about this is you can set it with this little gray turn wheel to the width of your crossbar so whenever you tension that cam lever over, it stays at that same spot so you don't have to keep tightening down every time you use your cargo box. You just open and close. Now that we've seen that, let's go ahead and open our box up. This is a locking box so it will have a key, just turn it to the unlock position, press in the button and it will open up. So we have all out other feet in place this is just the last one we have to put in there. more
