RoofBag Rooftop Cargo Carrier Bundle + Protective Mat + Storage Bag + Heavy Duty Straps|Premium 100% Waterproof| Made in USA|2 Yr Warranty | Fits All Cars: with or Without Rack

Bought this bag to help me move across the country. I stuffed it completely full (probably not recommended but I had a lot of stuff and was desperate to make it fit), attached it to my car via the straps-through-the-window method as I don't have a roof rack, and also looped the straps through a spare tire I threw on top of the bag once it was zipped closed. For reference I have a Honda CR-V. The bag fit on the roof perfectly and held a lot of clothes / assorted household items. The straps were plenty long enough (as I said they looped over the bag and a tire and the car roof). As for the weatherproofing...We started our drive in Louisiana in the worst rain and flooding they'd seen in years, with half the roads out of town closed and our car getting drenched in the downpour. Here we had a tiny leak in one car door but that might have been from a twisted strap in the door that was messing with the seal, or that much rain was just too much rain since we were sitting still in traffic / parking lots a lot for the first 4 hours of the drive. Anyway the leak didn't last long and we never had another issue for the rest of the drive, despite driving through three separate rain storms and more flooding. Also encountered a couple medium sized dust storms in the desert that beat up my poor car but not this roof bag. We drove for 31 hours straight through all of that crazy weather and when we arrived at our destination all of my things (nice clothes, electronics, posters) were perfectly dry and intact. To say I'm impressed would be an understatement. I was skeptical that this would work so well, but I've been proven wrong and am excited to continue using this bag on my future travel adventures. Bonus: I live in a small apartment now and this bag folds up nicely for storage, something I get pretty excited about.

The bag will store a few suit cases. I have a smaller SUV and I was able to store all of my bags up top with room left to spare. I had two issues with it. The mat slid underneath the bag. Possible cause may have been that the straps were not tight enough but I had them pretty tight. Also I had an issue with the noise. I did follow other's advice and twist the straps in the car. The noise was coming from the doors where the straps came through the windows and it only happened at speeds above 75 mph. I adjusted the straps and some of the noise went away. On the way down (600 miles) the only issue I had was getting the zipper shut. I chalk that up to the first time that I used it and it was a little chilly (35 degrees) out. Did not have any rain but looking at the bag I do not think leakage would be a problem. I would recommend this product.

Great Roof Bag. I was not sure if the Roof Bag would work on my 2013 Buick Le Crosse, but it did. I drove from Las Cruces, NM on June 28th to Tucson, Arizona on my way to San Diego, California, and during the trip encountered high winds, a dust storm, and heavy rain and wind. The Roof Bag held up well, and nothing inside got wet. The straps are very secure, but some wind noise is heard where the door seals meet the straps when traveling at 75 miles per hour. My car does not have a luggage rack, so I purchased the model where the straps go through the car via the door/roof openings. I recommend this Roof Bag.

I used this for my 2015 Nissan Rogue w/ the roof rails but w/o the crossbars Nice thick waterproof material. It was easy to install/attach and stayed put with the optional protective mat. I was worried that w/o the crossbars that the bag would shift but that was not the case. Just make sure to cinch the straps snug (not tight) and use the rubbery and grippy mat. The straps are nice and high quality with a very strong feel to them. I trusted the buckles and they were strong too. I used Nite-Ize Rubber Twist Ties to secure the excess strap and keep them from flapping in the wind. It rained on the first part of the trip up north in Michigan but the bag stayed waterproof. No water or any moisture got in the bag.Since I have a trip computer in the Rogue which displays mileage, the Roof Bag does reduce mileage by quite a lot. But I cannot blame the bag entirely because we added a lot of weight to the car bringing up lots of beverages for a multi-family vacation for a week. This added a lot of weight in the cargo area with our luggage and other things in the Roof Bag. Mileage dipped about 3mpg on the highway with the bag and extra weight. But since we were able to bring a ton of stuff, it was worth the trade-off.Hint: use a board about as wide as the bag and place it in the bottom at the front of the bag to keep the wind pressure from lifting up the middle of the bag at highway speeds and causing a parachute effect. Either that or get a crossbar and fairing from Yakima, Thule, etc. I did the former and will be getting the latter.Overall, the RoofBag is great and the material and build quality makes me confident it will last a long time.

It's a great product for what we needed. It was a little tricky to get the straps just the right tension though. Too tight? And the car will leak like CRAZY when it rains. Too loose? It will make a VERY annoying vibration sound that is similar to a violent bee being amplified. I also wish I would have had the instructions before my trip. I didn't realize that for an SUV, the best was to strap it down is to do an "X" which requires extension straps. It may have made the straps a little less likely to be just centimeters above our heads on the trip. But for the price, it was SO WORTH IT!!

We needed extra space, as we were driving across country in a Honda Pilot with eight people in tow. After we got into a groove with packing, it was one of the best items we purchased for our trip. We don't have a roof rack, which wasn't a problem. We used the straps that were provided without incident. However, we put socks over the straps to prevent any damage to the paint. The anti slip mat was helpful too.
