Waterproof bag was awesome.
The rack was easy to assemble.We went on a 2000 mile round trip. Sunny and 70° when we left,We hit medium ran in about 30 min of our start, turning into very heavy downpours of 45 min at least, then freezing rain, followed by snow, and 12° temperatures. When we arrived at our destination, our bag had road grim and ice all over it.I stopped at $ .25 car wash, pressure washed grime off bag and vehicle. NOTHING inside bag was wet. I added plastic bags over luggage (just incase) it was a step totally unnecessary.I did have small amounts of surface rust around welded joints, nothing a can of spray paint won't cure. I did add heat shrink to all other joints, but didn't have time to paint welded joints prior to trip.I will be doing that soon.Very little wind noise while traveling, and looks awesome too.Great product

Worth the money
We bought this for a trip through Tennessee. Most of the trip was rainy. The assembly did take a little longer than expected. But, it was pretty straightforward. The bag kept the luggage dry. However, the bag did take a little wear. I believe that is from me not packing solid items tight forward early in the trip. Overall, the family is very happy with the product. Only complaint we have is one of the spacers for the bracket which holds the basket to the crossbeam was lost on the trip. I would suggest gluing and/or taping the spacer to the bracket and checking the bracket tightness between trip legs. Us not checking the tightness was our fault. The shifting load through mountain turns was probably the issue. The basket still held strong without issue.This is a well built basket and bag which was well worth the money. We did not use the net or lock on this trip.

Good value - but here's what you need to know
We bought the product to carry our second set of tires across Canada (moved from Toronto to Vancouver). Here is what I can tell you about our experience:- Absolutely ZERO installation instructions (but we used our brains to figure it out)- It fit both all 4 tires, stacked 2 on top of each other, and kitty corner (SUV tires). The basket is in "extended" mode in this picture- Also had room to put our gas can on top (can't see in photo because it's on the other side)- We did not use the cargo bag as it's not very big (barely fit 2 tires)- It held VERY well; BUT we were careful to ensure the cross bars were centered under the wheels to ensure the load was properly distributed, and we used strong Thule crossbars as I am pretty sure we were pushing or over the verified weight limit. We also ensured the four basket "feet" that connect the basket to the cross bars was as close to the car's side rails as possible to properly distribute the load away from the centre to ensure the cross bars didn't bend in the middle. We also used 3 straps (not the ones provided in the package, but our own straps) to let the tires down, and we wrapped those straps around the car side rails, not the Thule cross bars or the basket itself.- We would HIGHLY suggest buying a rust proofing spray before use. After the 4 day, 4300km drive in late December, a few if the screws has already developed rust- After use, I took it off, washed it, and used a microfiber towels to dry it in order to prevent rust- The feet mechanism that hold the basket to the cross bars are pretty crappy... You get what you pay for here. The crappy feet mechanism would make this basket EXTREMELY annoying to take on and off repeatedly- The frame itself is strong enough and the welds look solidOverall, for what we need it for, it did an amazing job. Installation was a pain but we made it work. The cargo bag looks solid and I'm sure we'll use it in the future for camping, etc. I have it 4 stars because of the assembly and the feet mechanism. But it got 5 stars for me on value.Hope this was helpful for other shoppers!

Good value | My first 'basket' cargo carrier
My first shipment came with a bent tube on the faring section, I contacted Mockins via the Amazon order page...Mockins sent an email asking me to call them, which I did. They said no problem and that they would send a replacement part right out...could be a couple of days.Part showed up like next day. I assembled the carrier, very straight forward and quick. I easily attached this to my MINI Countryman factory roof rack, and have used the netting for my dump runs. I haven't used the included carrier bag or straps at this time. I'm also using the carrier w/out extensions...as this profile is better IMHO.PROS:Good price, good support, nice package of accessories, easy to assemble.CONS:Build quality is solid, but not particularly refined...my faring portion started to rust on the weld points, and that oxidized orange water is falling on my roof. Not a huge deal so long as you wash your car regularly. The knobs that secure the carrier to your rack are good, but I fear over tightening them...another type of fastener might make more sense. Also there's not protection between the U bars that hold the rack in place against my OEM rack, so something there too would be welcome, like a bit of foam padding or what have you.
