Rightline Gear Sport 2 Waterproof Rooftop Cargo Carrier for Top of Vehicle, Attaches With or Without Roof Rack, 15 Cubic Feet, Black

Bought this for use on a rental Town & Country minivan on vacation in Florida. Worked perfectly. In full disclosure, I did not have any heavy rains to test that aspect, but it was easy to install and secure. Fit perfectly between the front and rear roof rack cross bars. You do need to fill it up volume-wise to minimize flapping in the wind, but once done it was quiet and did not pull on the van at all. I did stop after about 30 minutes to retighten the straps, but it was secure. I also used a no-slip roof pad to protect the top of the van, and you have to be thoughtful about how much weight you put into this because the roof can only hold so much (this bag was sitting right on the roof surface with just a sliding pad between the bag and the roof's paint.) We got a few large suitcases in and then filled the space with dirty laundry bags, duffle bags, beach towels, etc. Again, the more full the volume (not weight), the better this will perform in wind. Also, I only used two of the included straps to secure it (one in the front and one in the back), and those connected to the roof rack sides. In hindsight, a 3rd, probably less convenient to attach and tighten, strap could have run from the center front crossbar to the center rear crossbar (over the top and along the length of the van). I would do that if I had a long trip just as a precaution to hold everything down to the roof, but that would just be me wanting to have a belt and suspenders. Again, I fortunately did not get to test the watertight aspects of this bag because we had sunny weather, but the seams are and zippers are all coated and the Velcro covers seem as if they would do a good job to keep out moisture if installed correctly. Lastly, this size seems like a good one, although they sell larger. A larger bag seems like it could allow too much weight on a roof, but that is just something each person needs to determine for your own trips. No rooftop carriers are designed for more than a few hundred pounds, and many are less than that, but it is usually the roof limitations (you don't want to leave a huge dent) that drive that decision. Overall, I am very pleased with this product.

I used it on a 2014 Prius with straps through the passenger compartment.2800 miles through some rain. We did not expect rain. When you drive through the rain, a few drips leak through. It's to be expected because the door seal is not perfect when the straps go through it. But, it's not a big deal. The flap design kept the water out of the main compartment without a hitch. The insides were dry.It feels like it's really well made and durable. The stitches holding the D-rings to the compartment materials seemed solid. I felt confident at 80 mph. It comes with 4 sets of straps, each long enough to go through the passenger compartment. I used two sets for the forward end (just in case) and one set for the rear end.After the drive, there was no physical signs of wear to the container material nor the straps, and no problems around the rings and stitches, where I imagine there's a lot of tensile pressure.When they are pulled taught, the strap ends tend to dangle in your face. This is easily resolved with hair clips.It's also helpful, as some have mentioned, to put some protection on the front side as many bugs will end up giving their lives for your trip.We put tarp on the forward side to take the bug hits, and held it down with bungee on the two forward D-rings. The tarp was actually not in good shape after the trip. I guess the air friction was taking it apart strand by strand.This thing saved us a lot of money as opposed to getting a hard shell container.And I can pack it away in a compact box when not in use.It held more than our hatchback space could.Great investment!

My [extended] family spends a week together at the beach every summer, it's usually a really good time. Because there's usually a ton of us--many of which are children and their friends--my wife and I usually bring separate vehicles so we can bring extra stuff and have another vehicle while we're out there.At any rate, this year we had some minor problems with my wife's SUV just before we were to leave, and suddenly we had less than two days to figure out how to get four of us (and a week's worth of gear) all packed into my Toyota FJ. I love taking my truck to the beach, but it just doesn't have the room for this sort of thing. Yikes!No stores local to me stock this sort of rooftop bag, and I wanted to make sure I got something I could actually use (hopefully more than once, right?). I took a chance and ordered this product, next day, through Prime. It arrived, packaged well, as promised. It's super easy to understand what's going on with this thing, and it really was a breeze getting it in place and filling it up.The bag is waterproof, lightweight, and seems to be fairly tough. I tied it down to my roof rack with [my own] ratchet straps, and found the 'D' rings on the outside of the bag made it very easy to tie down snugly. Honestly, I doubt it shifted a single inch during the 250 mile trek to the beach. There was very little wind noise, and it had no effect at all on the handling of my truck. If you're careful how you load it, you really can put A LOT of stuff in there.Unloading was super easy as well, and the whole things rolls up and fits neatly into the supplied storage bag.This thing saved my tail, I mean that. It's hard to believe that something as goofy as a bag made such a tough situation laughably easy! The only downside to it I can think of is that because it's black, it gets really, really hot... so you might want to consider that when you're figuring out what you want to put in there. Also, I could see some of the velcro strips not lasting too long, but that won't really affect much, just won't look as neat is all. There may be plenty of these cargo carriers out there that are better, I'm not really an expert when it comes to giant bags you strap to your roof! For me personally, I would buy this again in a minute, super happy!
