MeeFar Rooftop Cargo Carrier Car Roof Bag 21 Cubic Feet 100% Waterproof Car Top Carrier, Fits All Vehicle with/Without Rack,Include Anti-Slip Mat,10 Reinforced Straps,6 Door Hooks,Luggage Lock

I bought this cargo carrier in June and waited till I had a couple of trips with it to review. I took 2 trips from Texas to Colorado for a total of 3200 miles and it worked perfectly!! We drove through several major rain storms and high winds with absolutely zero issues. The carrier remained waterproof with no damage noted. The straps that are included tied down securely to my roof rails but i also used 3 ratchet straps for extra security. But I feel the included straps would hold up just fine. Setting up the carrier was actually very easy and only took maybe 15 minutes to place on the car, load all the gear and strap down. the first time. With every other use my time was less and less. Once I secured the carrier to the roof it did not move AT ALL!! It did not slide or shift and the included grip mat held in place and caused no damage to my paint. I was able to stow a very large amount including luggage, crates, boxes and bags. This thing saved so much room inside my jeep. For the price this carrier is a solid purchase!!

I just want to say that I have NOT been paid, offered money/reimbursement/discounts or gifted this item. I paid for this item and my review is my own without any influence. Now that that’s out of the way, if you are considering a soft rooftop storage solution and don’t want to commit to a hardtop, let this be the review you need! I took a vacation with my best friend and her 2 kids ages 7 & 9 and toddler age 1.5. The trip was about 15-17 hours each way due to distance and having to stop for multiple breaks for the kids…and if you have ever traveled with kids you know they want to bring all their favorite snacks, food, drinks, toys, blankies, iPads, gadgets, and well even room in a 7-8 person vehicle is still limited when you leave home for anything longer than 3-4 days with more than 4 people and we left for 12 days. I initially considered buying for a trip I have in late September, since I’m offering to be the carpool driver in my 7 person SUV and thought this trip would be a great test run for both quality and durability, as well as ease of use. I give this 5 stars hands down. It was a great purchase! I researched several brands, read countless reviews, examined the quality to the best of my ability and landed on this one. It was this or RoofPax and this one I do believe is far superior. Well packaged and easy to follow directions, I was able to get it setup and ready to go in 10 -15 mins the first time and then 5-10 mins the second time. It comes with a slip grip pad (same as the foam style anti-slip rug pad but with better grip) to put between your rooftop and bag. Great to keep from scratching the top and extra grip protection so it doesn’t slide around while in motion. It has several points of attachment with sturdy clips and additional attachment to accommodate vehicles without roof crossbars. The material is a nice heavy duty vinyl with a solid waterproof zipper that comes with “suitcase lock” setup for protection and a large overhang on the 3 sides with heavy duty velcro to cover and act as additional waterproofing for the zipper so nothing gets wets. As you can see from the photos, this SUV had crossbars but not side rails. It is setup to be used for side rails as best option due to the way the straps are attached to the bag. That said, I just turned it 90 degrees and decided that was how it was gonna have to be lol. Too late to worry and it was time to go! It worked flawlessly!! I purchased the 20 cubic feet and yeah… SO MUCH ROOM. Here’s the items I crammed into it only to realize I still had room for more: 2 medium 25-27 in luggage suitcases (these are one size down from the largest) 2 kids duffel bags 3 pillows (king size) 2 kids life vests 1 toddler life vest suit 1 toddler water inflatable A box of diapers A large telescope A couple blankets 2 carry bags of clothes from shopping on vacation And a few more small things that tucked in. Let me say we left with more than we started with and 90% was packed into this storage space and there was still room! Truly shocked by everything that fit in here! Seriously it’s worth the buy! Quality and durability is 5 stars as well We drove about 7 hours or so on the way back in several rainstorms of different intensities and intervals and nothing was wet when we arrived home. This is truly waterproof no matter what direction you have it, though it does have an intended directional for use. The straps are solid and didn’t stretch very much and I always checked them anyway time we stopped because I was paranoid about it not withstanding the wind speed and vibrations of driving but it didn’t flinch or break. On the way home I was able to not worry at all. I had complete faith in it! I’m a 34 year old single lady and I figured this out on the fly… literally unboxed in the driveway 30 mins before leaving and packed it myself while my friend wrangled the kids and last minute potty breaks. Having a friend or partner to help load and unload definitely helps but not required! Additionally, I saw the other brand I mentioned on several rooftops and mine not only looked way better, but those didn’t seem to be near as quality as this one and I’m glad I went with this brand!

Pros: Material has some weight to it but is not excessive and product feels heavy duty and has withstood 4 separate 250 mile trips already. Once installed, bag is very secure and does not move thanks to the strap placement and anti slip mat provided. Strap and buckle materials have held up well, despite having read some reviews that it may not. Cons: The straps design is pretty atrocious to adjust and are sometimes very difficult to get on correctly and to a suitable tightness. Overall recommend but be prepared to spend a good amount of time on a fight with the straps to get this thing secured!

This thing is so awesome, I have a Jeep Cherokee & a family of 4. We used this to store our luggage while we traveled to the beach. It held all of our suit cases (one large, one medium size, one small & toiletries bag) it also held our 10X10 easy up. On the way down we had perfect weather on the way home we did run into some rain. It rained for about an hour & all of our stuff was completely dry! I don’t have a luggage rack but I do have the side bars on top of my jeep this thing just strapped right to it. The straps are durable we had no issues what so ever. If you do not have those side bars it does come with an additional way to strap it on your vehicle. It’s definitely worth the price that’s for sure!!! & once you’re done with it you can easily fold it up and store it for next year. There was also no noise from the storage bag on top it was so nice and quiet the 8hr drive. (Unless you have the straps flying around) I’m so glad I bought it it definitely gave us extra space in my smaller jeep I’ll even continue to use it once I get a bigger vehicle that’s how much i enjoyed this!!

We took this on a 15 hour road trip, the first half of which was driving through snow and rain. When we got to our destination and unloaded everything, there was zero evidence of any water getting inside, and we didn't do any additional waterproofing. Easy to install and quite roomy! It fit perfectly on top of my Subaru Forester. We fit a Costco back and yellow bin, and 4 carry-on luggages.

This has been amazing and a life saver! It took me forever to figure out how to modify it the way I needed so while I don't do many reviews, I'm going deep on this one. I don't get paid for reviews and have no affiliations with any product links below. Just sharing what I did because other reviews gave me some good ideas to run with. I looked at lot of bags and I'm sure there are others that are just as good, but this one seems to be as advertised. I would highly recommend it and I would also recommend a few at home upgrades to make your traveling easier. I've taken it on two trips over 1,000 miles total on highways, bumpy roads, through winding mountains, and have had ZERO issues. I also didn't even notice it was there while driving...except for me constantly checking on it just in case. It only rained one day when it was parked and empty, but zero water came in. From what I can tell I don't see this not being able to withstand a severe storm as long as the rain isn't coming at you backwards from the ground and getting in the seam. The material is thick like a swimming pool liner and sewn together well. On the second trip (not pictured) we had the entire bag full, and every side was pushing out a little bit. The bag held up great and handled an insane amount of camping gear and suitcases. From what I can remember we had 1 extra-large suitcase, 3 check size suitcases, 3 backpacks, 5 camping chairs, 5 sleeping bags, random equipment, folding tables, and a lot of outdoor family games. Because we have captains chairs and use a third row in the vehicle there is almost zero trunk space so for 2 adults and 3 kids. I need this to last. Below are some ideas you might find helpful for long term use and travel. - I put in a PVC frame after looking at other reviews. Great idea!! Can't tell you how much easier it was to load, unload, and tie down. I also think anyone that has water getting in the bag is having that problem because the bag is folding over itself. It took a minute to build, and I did make it a tight fit. The vinyl has stretched ever so slightly after we jam packed it for two long hauls and now it's a little easier to zip up. - A friend just bought and used a roof bag for his family (different brand) on the trip we went on. I am so happy that I chose the hitch route. Even if I had to buy a hitch trailer for the bag vs. going with a rooftop bag I would. Their roof was caving in and packing and unpacking was horrible. A mother-in-law that was helping them fell and hurt herself, so if you go the roof route, pack a small ladder. - I did order the pad for a rooftop carrier and put it at the bottom of the bag under the PVC pipe frame. I was worried about something puncturing the bottom if the wrong gear was thrown in there haphazardly. - I also ordered and cut a rubber floor mat like you see in restaurant kitchens to go on top of the metal rack on the cargo hitch so the vinyl bag didn't rub against it and somehow tear. I highly suggest putting something between whatever bag you buy and the rack. Otherwise, every bump will slowly rub against your bag and eventually wear a hole in it. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B073QMGDB8?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details - The straps work very well. It may take a second to figure out, but once you do they actually stay without issue. Not one came loose on either of the long hauls. HOWEVER, on the first trip I forgot to address the slack in the straps after cinching them so I quickly grabbed some binder clips and they held for a roundtrip 500-mile drive over 80 mph. I wasn't really happy with the look so I got some Velcro I could cut and use to cinch them on the next trip. They worked great. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0B7XX9MBV?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details - And because it's always better to be safe than sorry, I purchased a lock I could thread through carrier rack and over the bag a few times. This ensures the bag doesn't go flying off the hitch if the straps ever do fail and is a decent deterrent for anyone looking to get in there while it's parked and you are in a store or restaurant. If someone wants to get in they can just cut it, but I think this definitely deters your standard person that would just take advantage of a random situation. I also know the bag isn't going anywhere when I'm driving and that is a piece of mind that makes the purchase worth it. Again, the straps haven't moved at all, but.... if they did for whatever reason this would be the safety net. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07QYCLK28?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details - Didn't even bother with the combo lock because of above. It's your standard airport luggage style lock that you should use if it's all you have. Again, if they want in the bag.. any bag you find like this no matter the fabric, it can be cut into. - My particular, old, hitch carrier does not have any rails to cinch the straps on to. If yours is the same, then I suggest using these straps and putting them through the grate before you put on the rubber mat or the bag. I put the lower straps through them to cinch and voila. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01N1NV536?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details - And lastly, when you go on a trip that isn't packing the bag full I recommend some bungees that can go from one side to the other and keep anything from bouncing around. I used these https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08F73XDPM?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details - I am not collapsing this bag after use and instead am using it to store camping gear and other frequent travel items that are kind of a pain to store. For this purpose, I put two pieces of Velcro over the top section of the PVC so they can catch the outside of the bag and help it keep its shape even when it's not zipped up. All in all, I got the bag on a lightening deal and thought heck.. that was cheap. Then, I did all of the above and killed the "cheap" deal. However, I feel like I can get a lot of use out of this bag and if it ever does die on me the rest of the items are all transferrable to the new one. For the quality, the size, and the price, this is a good purchase you won't regret it. I've had several compliments wherever we go.

Ordered this to use for a month long road trip from the East Coast to the Midwest and back. We were traveling with our 2 medium sized dogs and needed more room than the just the back of SUV for this long of a trip. We have a Fiat 500x that doesn't have roof bars or a rack, so I had been looking for a rooftop cargo bag that was able to hook in the doors. After lots of research and reading reviews from others, we decided to try this one. This is the first time we've used a cargo carrier on the roof so it was a bit concerning. The cargo bag was easy to install, using the instructions they provided. We used the protective mat and I had bought another just in case. We did a drive with several luggage bags filled with heavier items/magazines in it a month before our trip. We tested it going around corners, going fast and slow, and making stops - seemed to work great! Next was the actual trip with it. It was really helpful to have during the trip. We took it off when we had multiple days at a place and then put it back on the morning we left, and left it on during quick overnight stops at hotels. We parked near lights at hotels and no one seemed to bother anything. The zipper worked well and the Velcro covering stayed put. We traveled through light and heavy rain and snow - everything stayed dry inside the bag! We had tightened the straps as much as they could to keep the bag in place and then tied the ends so they wouldn't flap in the wind. There was occasional noise of the wind moving through the straps but it wasn't too bad. Even with the protective mat under the bag and straps tightened as much as we could, the bag still moved slightly towards the back and the mat was pushed from the front and bunched up an inch or two under the bag, just from driving at high speeds on interstates and wind but wasn't anything to be concerned about. Now, we have it folded and stored in it's storage bag in the garage, was pretty easy to put back in. We had packed extra door hooks and duct tape but didn't need either. Also packed foldable step stools that worked well when getting items, adjusting the bag or taking off/putting it on again. Overall, it was very helpful on our travels, would use again! I would recommend this one.

Worked fine for us. Easy to install and holds a LOT of stuff. We didn’t hit any rain or snow on our road trip, so I cant say much about that-but we did pack everything we put up there in heavy trash bags just in case.
