Rightline Gear 100S20 Sport 2 Car Top Carrier, 15 cu ft, Waterproof, Attaches With or Without Roof Rack

On our 4th year of using, and it's great for this price bracket. Good space, durable and definitely waterproof! If you don't have suitable side rails it's not great for hooking the straps to the inner upper door frame - forces a gap, slips off at worst. I now have a glass roof so I am purchasing cross rails and a suitably sized cut of plywood to provide a solid base. I could get a solid roof box, but it wouldn't fold away to store in quite the same way as this product.

We planned on taking a trek down to Phoenix from Provo (and back) for Christmas with 7 people in the minivan. With luggage and winter gear, that doesn't leave much room in the van for everybody, much less presents! After looking around, I decided on this particular carrier (I actually saw it at Target.com under a different brand name and then searched for it on Amazon.com) due to it being the largest carrier I could find, being soft-sided, waterproof and reasonably priced (especially compared to some hard carriers). Before buying, though, I read the reviews here, especially in regards to it needing to be full. I was impressed the vendor took time to reply to a few comments and that the current version of the carrier resolves some of the older negative concerns (such as it not being waterproof before). Long story short, I was very pleased with it!: * It's absolutely huge - it held luggage for 7 people, a few pillows, blankets and even some kids sleeping bags. * "full up" - Because I had read about it needing to be full, I tried packing it as full as I could, but it's so big there were still a few empty spots in corners, between cases, etc... Generally speaking, though, it was as full as it could be for me to comfortably zip it up. We tied it down very tightly between the crossbars on my roof and pushed in the corners. We then drove from Provo to Las Vegas at 80MPH (there are several stretches in Utah where 80 is the legal limit, btw) in some pretty good wind. The case performed perfectly, didn't appreciably lower our gas mileage, didn't create any unbearable wind noise, stayed perfect stable (we did buy the mat to go underneath, but it wasn't really necessary) and was in perfect condition when we arrived in Vegas. After going down to Phoenix and finally back up to Provo (about 1400 miles, round trip), the case is still in great condition! * Weatherproof - we didn't get too much chance to put it to the test but the little rain we did get didn't get in the case All-in-all, we absolutely loved the case. It's easy to put up, holds a ton of luggage and was a great value. It was exactly what we needed for our trip! One note - if you do use the non-slip mat underneath, only use it under the back half (or so) of the carrier. We found once we hit certain speeds (especially since the speed limit is so high on I-15) that if any air got underneath the carrier at those speeds the mat would vibrate against the roof and would be incredibly loud.

I searched for several different products and read many reviews before making the purchase. Overall, I was very pleased with it. I just finished a two week road trip across the United States starting in Tennessee and ended up in California. I drove a Toyota 4Runner. The PackRight Sport 1 Car Top Carrier was the perfect size for my truck. I could not imagine using it for a smaller car...I don't think it would have been efficient for anything but an SUV...but I see that others have used it for smaller cars. My truck has the rack above my car, so securing the car top carrier was not a problem. The straps provided were great at keeping it in tact. I also did not have to worry about lose ends flapping in the wind because I actually tied the excess straps down with some string. The PackRight carrier DID tear at one spot...near the front of the car...BUT, it was my fault. (I posted some personal photographs--you can see where the compression straps caused a hole to form.) The instructions clearly stated that it was not a good idea to line anything with corners or edges in the carrier. (I personally didn't know how to get around this as I was packing boxes.) In my carrier, I was able to fit three filing boxes (banker boxes) across the width without a problem, and even more smaller boxes to fill it up. The top of the bag does indeed expand but I don't recommend overpacking. The velcro strips that kept the flaps secure...for the most part...worked fine. I initially had expanded the carrier but did not want to risk water getting into it, so I took out some stuff. Two weeks on the road along the southern route of the US, it actually only rained a couple of times. When I was driving through Austin, I was on the interstate and the rain was pouring heavily for almost an hour straight. I was worried as I was driving through the storm, but figured if things got wet...well it would get wet. (Because I had smaller boxes loaded up top in it, I actually wrapped all of my boxes in garbage bags as a precaution. I would later realize at my final destination I didn't need to do that...but better safe than sorry.) When I was out of the rain storm, I checked all of my stuff the next morning and everything was fine, despite the small hole I created. The only reason the hole was created was because of the compression straps putting too much pressure on one of the corners of the boxes. All I did to fix it was opened up the carrier and used duct tape to tape an X over it, and I did the same from the outside. That was on the 3 day of my two week trip. From TN to CA over a period of two weeks, I had no problem with the car top carrier. The only reason I had to get access to it was because I wanted to repack some things...but other than that, it worked great. I had no problems with the extra straps flying around, no wind causing it to create unnecessary or unwanted sounds...all while driving at an average of 75-80mph across the US. I needed a car top carrier that was inexpensive, efficient, and effective. The PackRight Sport 1 Car Top met my needs and was great for my two week road trip across the US in my Toyota 4Runner. I bought the liner/mat that was suggested for it. I read some reviews that some people thought that you could get by without one...and you probably could, but it was only an extra 20 bucks and I went ahead and bought it and definitely thought it was the right choice. By the time I got to SF and unloaded, I could see clearly from the debris where I had used the liner. It definitely kept the car top carrier in its place...but besides that, it kept my car from getting beat up. The paint on the car is still very nice and I did not want to risk getting it scratched...so, the liner was an investment that was well worth its value. Owning an SUV, I will more than likely use the carrier again. It came with a carrier bag that makes it easy for me to store. I threw all of the straps and folded the carrier into it and I just left it in the back of my 4Runner. I was really pleased with the product and am glad to say that I had no problems with it. I would recommend this product to others. Cheers!

I purchased this carrier, along with the non-skid roof pad and car clips to enhance the storage space of our 2010 Elantra Touring (which doesn't have any roof rails) for an upcoming summer camping trip. I was initially a little concerned that it might be too large after checking the manufacturers recommendations, however the measurements were right, so I took the plunge. As you can see from the photos, it fit perfectly. The car's manual states that the roof will support 80kg (176lbs), so loading capacity doesn't seem to be an issue with a carrier this large. As we plan on travelling this summer, I decided to test the carrier out with our gear to see how it would fare. I read all the reviews, watched all of the manufacturers videos, and read all the FAQs to ensure I was aware of all the recommended and proper loading and hauling procedures. Then I proceeded to load it up with two cots, a folding camp table, an 8-man tent, two following chairs, two pillows, a queen sized comforter, and a 106L Rubbermaid container. The carrier easily held all of this gear, with a bit of space remaining for various small items (next time I pack it, I expect to add our queen air mattress and two burner camp stove). I then strapped everything in, and went for a drive, heading out on some hilly and twisty back roads, averaging 50km/h. I made a stop about 5km in to get out and check the bag -- it hadn't budged. The straps were still perfectly tight. I checked it again after about 15km, and the story was the same. As I had tied up all of the excess strap, and ensured the bag was pretty well filled, there was no noise. It performed admirably. For our next trial, I plan on ditching the 106L Rubbermaid container, and replacing it with a canvas duffle of some sort instead. The container is a bit too tall to really get the velcro down at the back, and the zipper was a bit tight. But that's hardly the fault of the carrier bag itself (and it was to learn these things that I ran a pack-test before our first camping trip of the season!). Overall, a great solution to our extra storage needs when camping; I'm already looking forward to taking it on all this summers adventures!

Muy buena calidad, comparada con otras bolsas, las costuras vienen "vulcanizadas" por dentro, los cierres son de uso rudo. Las usé en la batea de una Frontier en vez de usarlas en el techo y cupieron dos de estas bolsas sin problema. Resistieron lluvia, Sol y mucha tierra. Lo mejor es que se lavan fácil y se guardan en un práctico morral para que no te roben mucho espacio.

La verdad no sabia mucho de que esperar pues esta tenian reviews mixtas positivas en Amazon EUA. Pero dado que mi carro no tienen barras de carga, no tenia muchas opciones disponibles para una mudanza me salio de sorpresa. Me gusto mucho que fue sumamente facil instalarla con los ganchos incluidos en mi Kia Soul. Ademas, la calidad de la bolsa de carga es muy alta. Se siente muy gruesa y duradera, y me dio mucha confianza que la ropa no se mojaria si lloviera en el camino. Como recomendacion, asegurense de apretarla MUY bien antes de manejar, y que no haya ningun liston/cuerda/parte de la bolsa floja. De lo contrario hara mucho ruido al manejar a altas velocidades. Yo pude comodamente manejar a 130km/h gran parte del camino. La otra cosa es que las cuerdas con las que se atan se aflojan ligeramente con la distancia, pero esto se remedia facilmente deteniendose cada ciertas horas a asegurarse que todo en orden y apretarlas si es necesario. La verdad quede muy feliz con la compra, y si la recomendaria a otros.
