Heavy-Duty Waterproof Roof Bag – 23 Cubic Feet Rooftop Cargo Carrier, Soft Luggage Carrier with Protective Mat (Roofbag for SUVs and Cars) – Compatible with Racks or Without

This thing is amazing, easy to install, easy to load!! This will hold a lot of stuff too!! Loaded this thing up in the rain even and everything inside stayed dry on a 3 hour drive through torrential rain!! Very minimal road noise but not untill 70mph!! This thing held strong and did not budge

I was skeptical about this purchase with the bad reviews I read but after a 16hr 800 mile drive from Oak Point, Tx to Keystone, Co. I will say I had none of those issues (no rain occured to provide review on waterproofing). I was able to fit 1 large, 3 medium and 2 small luggage bags, a 6 and 2 person tent, 3 vacuum storage bags that had 2 comforters, 2 blankets and 2 pillows, 2 life vest, collapsible shower tent, portable shower bag, towels and footwear with a little room to spare. Installation was easy with the provided directions (I did some additonal rooftoop nbag packing research and loaded the heavier items in the front). I was scared the nylon straps clips were going to break or pop loose so I used the extra length nylon strap to wrap over the clip and through a loop on the bag multiple times, slid the attached velcro on the strap through one of the loops I made pulled tight and connected the velcro. Gave it the ole "that's not going anywhere pull" and set out on our journey. After 30 minutes of 70-75 mph speed travel I stopped to perform a check before hitting the open road and the bag was still centered, straps were tight and all was well. Every stop we made I checked the bag and straps and no change. The bag or straps did not rip or fray. If you do choose this bag make sure to fill it completely so it gains its square shape to prevent flapping which will lead to rips and tears (I researched this). Almost forgot, DO NOT PUT ITEMS IN HERE THAT YOU WILL NEED ACCESS TO ON A REGULAR BASIS THROUGH OUT THE TRAVEL! Learned that the hard way. I was not told while packing which one was the medicine bag which i packed dead center. I had to do a lot of unstrapping to get access to it. If I would modify anything for next travel. It would be changing out the nylon clips. They held up well but always worried me while I was traveling. Hope this helps a future buyer. (Don't judge my photos, only ones I could provide were from my security camera at 3am while we were leaving lol)

Super useful!! Stays put on my civic hatchback, basically doubles the storage capacity. Stays dry and waterproof have used several times for long roadtrips over the years still works great. Fits nicely back into the storage bag doesn’t take up much room at all while storing.Drag introduced while filled to maximum capacity, lowered my gas mileage from 40 down to ~30mpg in my civic. Partially weight increase on the car but the drag is no joke if you have it really packed with stuff.Doesn’t leave any marks, I would be careful if you have something pointy or particularly heavy as there’s only so much padding can do to spread out the weight and you could damage roof of car with dent. I have put some pretty heavy plastic tubs full with books up there and no denting or anything. No damage where the hooks hold onto the door jam either. Cleaver design.Zippers are top quality haven’t had a problem. All the straps have some Velcro so you can wrap them up and Velcro so it doesn’t fly around with the wind.Haven’t had any leaks into car while hooks are in and in heavy rain too.Really good product!!

We filled this with 5 large suitcases and drove over 500 miles at 65+ much of the time. It was secure and never loosened. When we opened it at our destination after driving thru a 30-40 minute rainstorm about half way thru our trip everything was secure but there was water in the bottom of the bag. The suitcases protected the contents. I found that if you keep the top very smooth with no place for water to pool I could reduce this problem on subsequent trips.

It's a very big, comes with a mat to keep it from sliding around on top of your car. I had to sew the mat onto it because it kept rolling up underneath it (the wind). (Make sure you do a test run, whenever you buy something like this. Don't just put it on and leave). It's a very heavy material so it was really hard to do and I only stitched it in a couple of places. Even though Amazon that has a car matching system this thing didn't fit my car. They're supposed to be little places for the hooks to hook into. Not so on my car. So I went and got some ratcheting straps. And I hooked the ratcheting straps to the bag straps inside my car. It was only mildly irritating. Not enough to take it back. It worked. It did what I needed it to do and that was to go 500 miles down and 500 miles backup California. I didn't encounter rain and I poked a hole through it with the safety pin when I was securing the mat to it. So I can't say for sure if it leaks or not. But it will now since I put a hole in it. Overall it was a good buy. It was a good price, it did what it was supposed to do. I got so much stuff in there it was amazing. I could have got more stuff in there had I had somebody that would crawl on top of my car and lay on it, like a suitcase. yeah you have to unhook the hooks in order to open it. I just put things I need to get to in my trunk. And when you get one of these things be sure you have a really tall man, or a step ladder. I used a little stool cuz I'm short.

Ordered this for a family beach trip to florida. It held up very well, even through several rain storms on the way down. Easy to use and very secure.
