Reviews

• Took a trip to Fort Worth TX (from Cali) for Christmas and the car top carrier did extraordinarily well! We didn’t encounter any rain so I can’t really say much about the bag handling any moister. We were able to fit 1 lrg suitcase, 1md suitcase, 2 lrg thick blankets and quite a few presents and could’ve squeezed in a couple of more things. I do recommend taping down all the loose ends (including zippers) so they don’t flap around with the wind. We heard almost no noise coming from up top. Well worth the money.
• Purchased this item for my son and family. They were visiting for Christmas with a baby. When they left they had a lot more stuff to carry home than when they came. I wanted a light weight carrier to fit on the SUV at a reasonable price. This one was perfect! Plus it was delivered in 2 days. Thanks Walmart!
• First off, this product is worth the money and highly recommended. My SUV rental (GMC Yukon) did not have side rails or cross bars and I was able to strap this thru the inside of the vehicle with no issues. Six adults luggage was stored in the car top carrier with the expandable portion unzipped and utilized. To attach to the top with no rails- I first purchased a set of ratchet straps at Wal Mart for about $19.00, i did not utilize the straps provided. I set the empty bag on the roof positioned between the rear doors, I loaded 3 large luggage bags on the bottom back and 2 smaller ones in front of them, I than loaded 2 bags on the top back and next filled other void space with beach towels and some blankets. I then zipped the bag closed and looped the ratchet straps through the bag straps and thru the inside of the back seats (again run the straps thru while the door is open- do not attempt to strap thru the rear doors with the windows down- doesn’t work). I then tightened the ratchet outside of the vehicle and at the top of the bag. This method works- the doors will shut, no wind noise was evident and the straps was not a distraction for the adults sitting in row 2. I traveled 3000 miles with heavy rains (had to run the suv windshield wipers on high for :20 minutes and on intermittent for about 3 hours). No leaks in suv and some slight very slight water was evident inside the bag that seeped thru the zipper due to the Velcro cover lifted up while traveling. I could have avoided the slight water experience by making sure the Velcro cover was securely affixed.
• The bag stored quite a lot even without opening the expander. Items inside stayed dry and intact through a 3 day, 1000 mile drive, icluding high winds, light rains, and 70 moh highway speeds. It did shift backwards on the roof, however, without crossrails, even with the roof protector pad. If the straps were a few inches longer I couod have better braced it. The top flap and stiff material make the zipper a bit tough to zip and unzip, but overall I am very pleased with it.
• Bought this to help carry gifts/luggage following most recent holiday trip. 8 hrs through rain and sleet with no leaks. The tie-downs that come with it look cheap but i had no problem with them and they worked great. Would recommend this product.
• Only thing I would suggest for improvement is that when you open the package the bands are labeled with different rubber bands telling you where to use them, after the first use (well if you are like me anyway) the rubber bands are long gone. Perhaps actually marking the bands in some way so you know if it is for front to back or side to side.
• It’s large and does keep things dry going down the highway while down pouring and everything stayed dry.
