Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)The value for the cost is about right.
I like 1) Fold and store in the nylon carry case 2) Solid design, securely attaches to roof (Mine had side bars only) 3) Keeps things dry, no problem 4) Looks as good as a car top carrier can
Limitations 1) The zippers are hard to pull closed. As long as the two halves are aligned the zipper is easy. But if the bag is stuffed and you counting on the zipper pulling the two halves together forget about it. 2) Ford Escape is 1.5 inches too narrow for the bag to fit between the side bars but it works OK nonetheless.
I did not like 1) Packing in a hot sun. The bag is black and rubber and it gets very hot. 2) Storage bag looks cheap and that it's seams won't last long. 3) No clips to neatly secure loose strap ends. Had to spend too much time in the sun securing loose ends to avoid them flapping in breeze and getting frayed.
Pointers 1) Clean the top of the car each time before placing rubber skid pad down 2) The rubber skid pad keeps the bag from sliding off the car. 3) The straps keep it from blowing off 4) The bag is more shallow in the front than the rear. Pack it full enough to attain that shape and the aerodynamic shape really does keep the noise down 5) Bring along a small step stool to reach the top unless you don't mind standing on the door jams and rear tires. 6) Use the cross straps to cinch down on the folded up top when wrapping it up for storage. Fits easier into to storage bag. 7) Keep the straps perpendicular to the side bars. 8) Use black spring clips to secure loose strap ends 9) Avoid closing plastic buckle ends in car door. If they crack they are useless.
Shipping 1) Mfc in CA. I needed it within a week. I emailed them and they offered to ship two day for an extra charge.
