Rightline GearRange Jr Weatherproof Rooftop Cargo Carrier for Top of Vehicle, Attaches With or Without Roof Rack, 10 Cubic Feet, Black

I was worried about using this carrier because I'd never used one before and there were some poor reviews, but I'm so glad I bought it! It turned out to be a lifesaver. It's incredibly sturdy, so much so that I had difficulty unfolding it out of the box. The material is thick and a bit stiff at first use.The carrier isn't heavy at all but it took a bit of muscling to get it packed because the material is stiff. I was able to load/unload the carrier on top of my car by myself using a stepladder.The straps and attachments were strong and the directions were easy to follow. I double knotted the straps and checked them when I stopped for gas, no issues with loosening or slipping.The first trip I made with the carrier was 600 miles with sunny, slightly windy weather. The carrier didn't impact my speed or gas mileage much. The second trip, 300 miles, was in pouring rain. No leaks, everything was perfectly dry!This carrier was a great buy, I'm so glad I got it! It made my move a lot less stressful.

I recently embarked on a 2900-mile trip with the rooftop luggage carrier, and it exceeded my expectations. The zipper closure proved to be weatherproof, keeping my belongings safe and dry even during unexpected rain.The user-friendly design made installation a breeze, and the clear instructions ensured a hassle-free setup. What impressed me most was its performance in adverse weather conditions – it worked like a charm in the rain, maintaining its waterproof seal.After the long journey, the rooftop carrier still looks as good as new, a testament to its durability. I highly recommend the carrier for its reliability, ease of use, and impressive weather resistance. It truly made my road trip worry-free.

Just traveled from LA to MD. This thing went through high-winds and rain with no problems. The weatherproofing worked great (I stored clothes in the carrier using vacuum sealed bags, which I’d recommend as a precaution, but the bags stayed dry regardless.) Straps were sturdy and secure with just short of 100 lbs of storage. Get the slip mat for peace of mind, but be sure to cut it to size, as the flapping noise can be stressful. A couple of quick helpful pieces of info that helped me a LOT:-The space between the front and rear straps is just under 18”, so the spacing fit perfects on the same door of my ‘18 civic coupe (yes, fits 2 dr with no modification)-The bag is 15” tall with even & proper spacing, but larger items can still fit, since the carrier isn’t a solid shape.-100lbs was fine and the straps didn’t loosen on our trip: tie the extra strapping into knots for added safety, comfort and to prevent flapping noise while driving-It already says this on their website: The zipper goes around 3 sides, with the two zippers connecting in the middle. Mount the carrier with the zippers meeting in the back, as the continuous material being on the front will prevent any rain (or bugs, etc. in our case) from getting into your carrier. Again, weatherproofing was excellent.A great purchase. Dependable, sturdy design, and quality straps. Would recommend to anyone!

Was not easy to put up on roof. But was able to fit a lot of things. Wish it had better clips to hold in place. But it still worked for our camping trip. Would recommend adding a rope to hold it down.

Excellent - used on a 3,000 mile trip Michigan to Honduras. I was a little unsure of the strap mounts so added some ratching straps over the bag. Everything remained dry, no leaks or tears

Drove 16 hours starting at 65 degrees and raining, all the way through a horrible freezing rain storm down to 10 degrees - The bag and straps had almost an inch of ice on them. No damage, wear and tear, or water got in at all. If you pack it properly and mount it properly, as the instruction recommend, you will have no issues. Anyone with damage to their corners didnt properly pack the bag, and that's their fault. One thing I would recommend - the straps would not stop making noise at high speeds. It sounded like a helicopter was on my roof. I twisted all of the straps like I saw many other reviewers state, and that got rid of all sound. Great bag and I will use it again.

I was moving across the country and a friend suggested I get one of these to help out. I was so excited when I showed up. Easy to install and seemed really durable like I was gonna use it again down the line. Boy was I wrong.I installed it exactly how it was supposed to be done and the clips ruined the paint near the door straps. The biggest complaint is I maybe went through one tiny rain that lasted tops 10 mins on this trip and even after sealing it and making sure the zipper was not exposed to anything everything inside was soaked and ruined. I was devastated. I lost possibly over $3000 worth of collectibles (avid classic toy collector here) and when reaching out they said there’s nothing they could do and it was user error.Don’t buy this unless you live in dry land and expect to not have your car jacked up.

Overall, I like the design and construction. It comes at a great price. But after only a few trips all of the Velcro strips that secure a lip of material over the zipper for added rain protection have come loose. Not just one or two — ALL of them. Makes me worry that something else could unexpectedly go wrong.
