Roof Rack Rooftop Cargo Carrier Basket 51"*36"*5"+Waterproof Bag 15 Cu.Ft.

I just put over 2K miles on the car with this roof rack. Does is make some noise when empty and traveling at highway speeds. Yes. Any roof rack will do that including cross bars. Did id make any noise when fully oaded at highway speeds. Sometimes. Depending on if it was windy weather or the lay of the land the road was going through. For the most part it was pretty quiet. The bag for the rack was heavy duty and easy to use. I can see why it would be difficult to use in freezing or very cold weather. It is rubberized material. It would probably crack easily if it was yanked on too hard. The tie down straps on the corner of rack were easy to use as well. I’ve seen a lot of reviews where people say if you pull them to hard they rip off the bag. This type of strap is not designed to be yanked down to hard on. It is designed to tie off the corners. The orange ratchet straps are the ones you crank down tight to keep the bag from flipping off the rack. It comes with two but I use four, two in each direction. The flaps have Velcro all the way around to keep it tight against the bag. Remember the side of the bag without the zipper is what faces front, so you don’t get water blowing into the bag. The rack was sturdy and I did not have any issues. I was loaded with about 200 lbs. The only part of the rack that I question is the assembly design. I would have made the insert part of the tube in each section of the rack a little longer for better support. The rack was assembled with a small screw and rubber washer. I would have a longer tube and a bolt with the twist knob to assemble the rack. I did not have any problems, but I replaced/modified the screw with the bolt after my last trip. I can adjust my roof cross bars to fit the rack perfectly so the rack brackets work perfectly. I line the bracket up against the edge of the cross bar so it can’t slip and the roof rack did no budge at all during the trip.

Rather easy to assemble once you lay out all the pieces. Very sturdy and well made. Impressed with Customer Service as they were very friendly, helpful, and quick to send out another bolt I needed. The rack is so sturdy and weather resistant that I leave the rack mounted to the vehicle. Very happy with this purchase. Well worth the cost for a durable rack.

Thie rack is great and almost perfect. Cons: I do with the middle extension fully connected. It does at the sides where it matters but in the middle, there at some cross bars that have about an inch gap. Not a big deal but would be nice. The rack mounts did need a little help with the assistance of some washers being the my cross bars are not think. I had spaces and washers so easy fix. Pros: well packed, no scratches at all. Easy to assemble and sturdy. The back looks great and looks like the rubber material is well built, but I still need yo text it out on an upcoming 11hr road trip in a week. Not sure if I trust the ratchet straps or the built in straps on the bag. They look okay, but im going to buy my own and not risk it. All in all , I'm super happy with this and have zero regrets. Looks noce on our 2024 Palisade XRT.

Installation was easy. It's perfect for carrying bulky items that don't fit in the trunk but aren't too heavy, like tents or sleeping pads. The straps are long and adjustable, so it looks like you could pack it in pretty full if needed, and the material feels sturdy enough for regular road driving. Since I only camp occasionally and I'm still fairly new to it, I decided to start with this more affordable option rather than an expensive hardshell carrier. So far, I have no complaints. It also comes with extra accessories, which is nice since it means it can work with different types of cars, including ones without roof crossbars. The mesh basket itself does seem to hurt gas mileage from wind resistance even when empty, so I take it off when I'm not using it.

The components are well made and easier to assemble than it looks. The engineering is actually pretty well thought out because it doesn’t whistle or growl while driving. Paint and coating looks like it will be better than I anticipated. Overall, pretty happy with it. If I were just a little taller I’d like it more… that’s a joke.

This item is pretty good , it was light, but it did take a good amount of strength to put together. Had to get help since it seemed like the pieces were not lined up well. It is a little pricey for how much work had to be done. It did come with the extra bag which has plenty of room and it is water proof, an addition was the parts to tighten it which is a good add on, had a good amount of space and looks nice. It is strong and stays still but it did corrode a bit after one road trip.

I wanted a low cost and decent quality roof top carrier for our 2023 Subaru Outback for a long road trip because our large dog needs a lot of space in the rear of the car. I am very impressed with the quality of the bag. I was concerned that this would be the weak link, but it is extremely well made. The zipper is heavy duty and works very well. The seaming of the bag is impressive, it is airtight when fully zipped. To back that up, our trip was 3,000 miles and the last 10 hours of the drive was in the proverbial torrential downpour nonstop. Zero water intrusion, we had 3 large duffel bags inside and not even dampness on the outside of the luggage. The rack is fine, I will only mount the rack for trips, otherwise it would eventually rust being that we are in the Midwest. The bag has 2 tie down straps on each corner and secured the bag to the rack very well - they only need to be snugged to minimal tension and will be fine. I spent 30 to 40 minutes adjusting the straps initially. I think it was time well spent because after that all you need to do is unbuckle them when you want to take your bag off. The mounting hardware is good quality. A tip in addition to the strap tension - when assembling the rack, I used Fluid Film and sprayed inside the joining tubes of the rack to protect the tube insides from water and rust. I also coated the rubber sleeves with Fluid Film to make it easier to move them around during assembly because they fit tight. Also, when we got home, I removed the rack and wiped it down with Fluid Film for corrosion protection during storage. For $200 you can't go wrong with this rack and bag.

Easy to assemble. Holds an enormous amount of stuff. The cargo bag was great and waterproof. Fun fact, the zipper allows for the bag to be completely opened making it easy to load.

Clamps bend and do not support my roof rails very well. Paint scraps off easily. Nut knobs protrude above the rack.
