Highland 10391 Kar Pak Waterproof Soft-Sided Car Top Carrier - 15 Cubic Feet

Me and my family just went on a family vacation from NC to FL and other places around FL. We drove about 1500 miles on the trip. Drove threw serious rainstorms on and off the entire time and had no problems. Everything was dry and intact. I did buy the extra tie downs and it was'nt going anywhere.

I was pleased. It fit 5 suitcases. I just used it in the bed of my pickup. We drove through about 3 hours of light to hard rain. Everything stayed dry.

We bought this off Amazon for $41.95 with the free shipping... I installed it on our 2000 Ford Windstar, it went on real easy between the crossbars. The day we left for our trip we loaded it early in the morning then we got a very heavy downpour, we drove in the heavy downpour for about 30 minutes at 70 MPH and when we arrived at our destination 6 hours later everything was bone dry inside.... I drove freeway the whole way at speeds up to 80 MPH and it worked great, it did shift a little but it was fine... I did attach it down with extra bungy cords I had just to be extra safe, but it barely moved.... make sure you tape the straps down with duct tape or they will flap in the wind and work themselves loose, I had the duct tape come off one and the strap came off after flapping in the wind at 80MPH... I stopped put it back on and taped it better the second time and never had a problem after that.... this is definitely worth the $41.95 and it definitely proved it was waterproof.... also stores really nice in a small box.... my other advice is to practice load it on the ground so you will know the best way to load it when it's on your roof...

I ordered this car top carrier for a 12 day trip. It made it possible for the 5 of use to fit in one vehicle for the long haul.

It held up beautifully and held a ton of luggage.

Only problem I had is that I am not particulary tall and reaching stuff inside was a bit of a stretch. Can't really blame the carrier for that :)

I didn't want to spend alot of money on a carrier that we might use once or twice a year..so I bought this
I'm very happy with the performance of this product.. we came through severe thunderstorms on our trip.. Everything was dry! The carrier will take the shape of what you put in it.. So, you might look like you have the blob on your roof.. :)
fyi.. use large safety pins (I found this in another review) to secure the slack in the straps.. otherwise they will tap the roof of the car/truck and drive you crazy..
