 Good cartop carrier August 9, 2010
KG
This is a good car carrier for the price. We had a lot of rain on our return trip (from NC to NJ) and everything in the bag stayed dry. The bag did get a little wet under the cover, but nothing got to the contents. We drove through some heavy rain at highway speeds. I did not see any handling or milage issues. The straps that come with the cover held everything in place very well and did not come loose. I do suggest tying the loose ends to prevent flapping and the help keep the buckles from slipping (they did not slip, but I like the extra knots to be certain :-)
For those with issues of the cover fraying or the draw string guide ripping, I suggest an alternate to the cover installation instructions. The instructions say to put the carrier on the car, then install the cover. But it is difficult to close the draw string all the way. I suggest installing the cover on the ground and flipping the carrier up-side down to draw the string all the way closed. Then tuck the string inside the cover. Then put carrier with cover on the car. It is a little more awkward not being able to use the handles, but the cover fit is much better and should prevent damage to the cover and draw string.

Bought two of these separately after reading reviews and it worked out great. Since they were packed and covered separately I could take stuff out at a stop from one of them without unbuckling the other.
The first trip that these guys took on top of my 4-Runner was a long and wet one. We had bad downpour of rain and hail for about 6 hours on Interstate driving and medium to heavy rain on the way back from like 2:30pm one day to 8am the next. Not a drop inside the bags.
The cover, as the manufacturer has stated is only to protect the bags, not the rain itself. I would surely recommend using the cover since that would keep the bugs and other flying object, including rocks, out of the bag.
The bags are easy to store inside their original boxes when not used.
One review said they got scratches on the roof because of the bags moving around. I got a little bit one way of the trip. On the way back, I moved the side bars on the roof so the bags were snug between them and this time I had no more scratches.
The straps and buckles may not be the greatest available out there, but they work fine.
Great bag! November 30, 2009

This has been a great bag. It's weatherproof and the perfect size for the top/front of our Volkswagen van. We used it on a two-week road trip and it still seems like it has years worth of life in it.
So nice, I bought it twice! August 13, 2009

I originally bought this item before our trip to Disney World. My husband and I shared it and fit enough stuff in there to last us a week. Now we are going on a cruise in October and just bought a second one for our girls to share. Our 8 hour trip to Florida went smoothly, had a bit of rain, and our stuff was dry as a bone! And this item kills two birds with one stone...A suitcase and a car topper. I would highly recommend this item for anyone needing extra room and needing a reliable, weatherproof car roof topper.
Would buy again... June 17, 2009

We would recommend this to anyone needing to eliminate bags inside their vehicle on trips. It was easy to attach to our roof rack and the dust cover was great for keeping the duffel bag protected on the roof from bugs/rain,etc. We drove 1400+ miles and everything was still in great shape when we got to our destination. If you travel alot, I would recommend getting 2. There was room to place another one on our roof rack sitting side-by-side. Also having the duffel bag on wheels is great too. Great Product!!
