 Steer Clear of this Cargo Carrier, September 8, 2006
By S. Clouthier (Grand Blanc, MI)
|
|
We purchased this rooftop cargo carrier to transport our suitcases and beach items during our summer vacation to New England. We were initially concerned because it was so inexpensive for the size and worried that it might not fit a Trailblazer. Upon arrival we were pleased to find that it not only fit securely, but was rather stylish too. Although it appeared weatherproof we soon found that it was not. It began raining at the onset of our trip. About four hours in to our fourteen hour roadtrip the weatherproof lining began disintingrating. By the time we arrived at our destination all our possessions were soaked and coated in tiny grey vinyl flecks. This cargo hauler might be cheap and look nice, but it is not worth your money!

 Plenty of room, March 8, 2007
By R. Milroy (Phoenix, AZ USA)
|
|
I bought this because I was moving from Boston, MA to Phoenix, AZ and driving myself and my 2 daughters. I was able to fill this thing to maximum capacity- and was able to fit a small padlock on the zipper to secure it shut.
It rained and snowed on our trip and luckily, we had everything already wrapped up in plastic bags - this is not a waterproof cargo bag, but rather, water *resistant*.
When we got to Phoenix, I noticed that the front part of the bag had frayed and a hole formed. I think this was more do to the straps that were hanging and hitting it than poor craftsmanship.
I recommend this bag if you are doing a short trip, but not for long haul trips with a lot of highway driving.
Good points: Was able to fill it really well, was very easy to install
Not so good: straps really can't be secured down and end up flapping in the wind

 Warning - Doesn't attach to newer factory-installed roof racks!, July 16, 2006
By monkey mom
|
|
When we received this carrier, it stated on the box that it doesn't fit newer style roof racks that are either flush or molded. (However, there was nothing in the product description to indicate that!) We have a 2004 Chrysler Town & Country with the factory installed roof rack. The clips on the latch-down belts that you have to wrap around the rack do not fit between the bottom of the rack and the car! For that reason, we were unable to actually use the bag, but it did appear to be of decent quality. Make sure you have half an inch or more between your roof rack and the roof of the car before you get this one!

 Bag worked fine from Sacramento to Portland, August 31, 2008
By Bitbucket
|
|
We bought this bag in order to make a trip from Sacramento to Portland in August in a 1995 Honda Accord that had a Yakima roof rack on it. The bag worked fine and held a lot of baggage. We strapped the bag to the roof rack bars. Ideally we should've placed some of the straps to the side of the bag in addition to front&back - but we didn't have anything to strap to on the sides. So we pulled those straps to the forward and back bars too.
The bag didn't budge on the whole trip. We didn't encounter rain, so I can't comment on how water tight the bag is. We were prepared to wrap our luggage with trashbags if necessary (and them put them in the roof top bag), but didn't end up doing that.

 Works for Me!, August 8, 2008
By Randal B (Florida)
|
|
I bought this rooftop carrier in a hurry for a 1000 mile trip. I have a Subaru Forester, the luggage rack has a raised front and back rail, but the siderails are flush. The instructions that came with it said it will 'not work if the siderails are not raised'. Well guess what, it worked. I just tied the sidestraps to the inside side door ceiling handles. I saw someone else using one that strapped the sidestraps to the front rail. So it can be done.
I was concerned about rain from some other reviews I'd seen, but I didn't run into any so it wasn't an issue.
Seems to be a good product for the price!

cargo carrier, September 8, 2009
By B. Bies (Taylor, MI USA)
|
|
This cargo carrier worked great. B/c of the reviews that mentioned it not being waterproof, we packed everything in those plastic space saver bags. We drove over 1600 miles w/ it, not a problem!! On our way home it did rain and the inside did get wet, but it wasn't bad. Next time I will try that waterproofing spray you use for tents and see if that works. That is the only reason I give it four stars instead of five. We were definately happy w/it, and recommend it.

Good cargo bag - roomy, but not huge., September 3, 2008
By )'( (SF Bay Area, CA)
|

Bought this cargo bag for Burning Man. The picture (I think) is a little decieving. It didnt hold as much as I hoped, but did hold 2 large tents, a camping tarp and 2 small duffle bags. The straps fit securely around my Jeep Grand Cherokee stock roof rack. I would recommend this product - especially for the price - but take the lack of storage space into consideration if you're expecting to stuff a ton of property into it!

Are you kidding me? The straps aren't waterproof?, October 21, 2008
By Richard A. Grime
|
|
I have a 2008 Prius without any sort of roof rack. I purchased the 15 cu. ft. Roof Bag and installed it with no real issues. Then it started to rain--the straps soak up the water and transport it to the interior of the car, where it drips all over the seats. This is completely unacceptable! To add insult to injury, I can't get in touch with their customer service department. The recording either states their business hours (which I called well within) or that all their representatives are busy, then asks you to leave a message, and that's it.

What can you say, it works good and for a good price. It did get a little water inside during the rain but I may not have been completely carefull with the flaps so. Good value.

Very easy to use and takes up very little space when storing. The price was good too! Would tell anyone in the market to purchase a soft shell Auto Cargo Carrier to get this one.

car top cargo bag, January 1, 2012
By DJ
|
|
So we used this exactly as instructed, and only filled it 3/4 of its capability. The straps came loose, the material ripped in several spots, and the inside shed material all over our stuff. I am very disappointed with this product. It wasn't even worth the 25$. We had to tape the straps and rips halfway home to ensure it made it. Ridiculous!

Garbage., July 25, 2011
By k8coz

I purchased this for our 12 hr drive to vacation. I knew with the price being so low that I wasn't getting anything fancy, and I was fine with that. I also knew this was not waterproof, and packed all my stuff in giant ziplock storage bags so it wouldn't get wet. It did rain for maybe a half hour on our drive, and when we arrived to our destination and when we opened the cargo bag, we realized that the interior of the bag disintegrated from that little bit of rain. Little bitty pieces of chipped off 'water-resistant' material went EVERYWHERE when we opened up the cargo bag to unpack. All over carpet in condo, all over ziplocks. Good thing I used the ziplocks, as they were more durable than this piece of JUNK! To be honest, I'm a bit disappointed with Amazon for even carrying this product. I trust the quality of their products, and this was a total fail. Will return ASAP. My advice? Spend $10 more and get a waterproof cargo bag.

Know your needs, October 9, 2010
By Babs

This cargo carrier must be used with a four rail luggage rack on your car. My car only has 2 side rails so the carrier slide backwords the whole trip. It is very difficult to get things in and out while you are travelling, if you need to access items daily on a journey its a struggle.Some water does get in. There is no lock so it can be cut easily and broken into. A hard top carrier with a lock is much safer.

rooftop cargo carrier - soft, August 17, 2009
By T. M. Benedict (Northern Virginia)
|
|
for the price, it was good, it did what it needed but just flipping it over on the sidewalk put 3 holes in it. I guess I thought it would be tougher than that. It is also just weather resistant, not waterproof. It worked well and was spacious enough for what i needed so it was still money well spent.
