I have the same problem or rather I have the stripping but no place there to put these straps. Going to keep looking. Wondering if you ever came up with a solution?
When you hook these up to a car, can they be held and attached securely in areas besides the doors? Like if you had a van or mini-van, I would like to know if you can hook them up near the back where you don't normally have doors? And someone might wonder about this because it may be possible to have 2 bags on longer vehicles. But again that depends on if you are limited to only securing them around areas with doors. Thanks.
great video...thanks. Can you keep this on the roof rack and drive with it without it being fully loaded. I am going to pick someone at the airport. I want to have it installed but it will be empty on my ride to airport. Do you think that would be an issues?
The instructions on mine say not to drive with it empty. I think the fear is that it will flap too much in the wind. Most of the "install" time happens after you load it anyway, as the only things holding it on are the straps you use to tie it down after the luggage is loaded. Take it in the car with you and throw it on the roof at the airport, load it, and tie it down.
Thank you so much for your video. This really help me and save my day. I bought one of this same brand and rented a mini van for 2 weeks but the stupid damn van didn't have any roof rack or crossbar. I panic for a very long time trying to solve this problem but your video save my day. Thanks very much. 😊
I heard not to buy these because there has to be room between the roof and the box because of the air has to go between it. If you drive like the situation in the video you have to fill your tank very soon.. thats what i heard
I’m doing it on my x3 and have removed it twice w no damage thru the weather strip. They are actually cheap af to replace on eBay aftermarket idk what car u got those
Nope. Just make sure you use no more than 5,000 lbs, or 2,300 kg of gear, and make sure hard pointed edges are directed towards your roof so they don't dent anything 😏
@@mr.c6674 5,000 POUNDS??? I find it hard to believe one can put 5,000 pounds of weight on top of their car! The entire car doesn't even weight that much.

Amazon Ad says it should hold up to 6 suitcases. Looks like you could get 2 in and maybe two carry-on put on top of the larger two. Was there really enough room for 6 of those suitcases you placed during your demo?
@@lenc3970more so fl ruining fl. Been a native for over 20 years and this state is done. Unaffordable, ghetto, rundown, dirty, any remotely big city has unbearable traffic 2/3rd the day. It’s only fun to come as a tourist. Old Florida doesn’t exist anymore and campgrounds are expensive af. The primitive ones are filled with homeless now if you go far enough trying to get quietness. Early 2000s fl was peak before the 2008 collapse that ruined the suburbs. Now it’s poverty poverty poverty. Unless you are already rich or setup or wanna work beyond full time for a small apartment in the hood have fun. Hell there’s a homeless dude living next to our trash compactor who’ll yell at you at night😂 there is so much trash here everywhere.
You need to drive at less than 70Kmh for this to work and the load should be less than 40Kg or you risk 1- bending your roof and damaging it beyond repair because or the road vibrations 2- the cargo flying of the car with a sudden stop. 3- The rubber that prevents rain from getting into the car from the car doors can be damaged because they are not built to withstand these forces. All in all this is extremely dangerous and should be done only with extremely light loads and short distances if ever.
Wtf are you talking about? Where did you get that clip thing? My carrier did NOT come with one of those! Couldn't you at LEAST have said what it's CALLED, or even just point the camera straight at it for two seconds? Yeah, this technique is easy, alright, so easy that it's useless.
Another little tip: The opening should be to the rear of the vehicle, the sealed side goes at the front, so water isn't forced in with wind.
Nice video. A little tip: Have the zipper close to the back. Safe Travels
it literally says to do the opposite of this
this is good thing to have and cheaper than the roof rack system
Does it remain stable at high speed?
I mean on sudden apply of break don't it comes forward?
No, cause he had antisliper under the bag
@@cnd_ionactually, that would basically do nothing at higher speeds.
Great video! Thank you!
My weather strip on my 2023 tahoe doesn’t pull back
The rain travels right down those nylon straps into the car cabin!
Good point!
Good point!
Really helpful. Thank you 😊
Love from india .. sir 4 hooks are sufficient??
How does it clip in or does it go through the car???
My weather stripping doesn’t pull back. What are my options?

And, how does it do at 85pmh ?
Where you going at 85mph 😂... if your UK it's 70 🤭
@@PollyMm At some places here in the usa, the limit is 80mph, and people often go 5mph over, so that 85.
Hey buddy, how big is the cargo bag you're using? Is it the 15 or 21 cubic feet?
Looks like 21 cubic ft cause I got one
How much weight can I put on before it dents my cars roof? I have a Chrysler 330.
Do these work also being installed on those towing hitch carriers?
Does it stay in place? I wouldn’t want it gliding over my windshield if I have to break quickly.
As long as you secure it correctly and not under load it. Mine held up
Fine on the freeway. 👍🏽
where can i get this @@FixThisHouse
What about pan roof ?

So I did this but it made my weather seals on my doors not work, when it rains it leaks through the door. What am I doing wrong?
When I’m parked I just throw a tarp on it
@@OnwardOverland rain happens while driving, occasionally too.
How can you make it safe if you only have two car doors
Can I put the baby stroller inside it?

One year later I'm in exactly the same situation, hope the storage bag worked well for you!
What is the size of one you bought? Is this the 15 cubic feet?
How do install a carrier that was made for roof racks and I don’t have a roof rack?
thankyou so much for this! really helped!!
I heard not to buy these because there has to be room between the roof and the box because of the air has to go between it. If you drive like the situation in the video you have to fill your tank very soon.. thats what i heard
It should have diagonal strap to stop it from coming free if need to hard brake
good
i cant put door straps on mine because of bmw strong weather strips..would four ratchet straps and antislip may hold 70lb luggage down on interstate?
I’m doing it on my x3 and have removed it twice w no damage thru the weather strip. They are actually cheap af to replace on eBay aftermarket idk what car u got those
Great but I think that it will also not approved with RTO
Will the luggages make a dent on the car roof? How heavy can an car roof support?
Nope. Just make sure you use no more than 5,000 lbs, or 2,300 kg of gear, and make sure hard pointed edges are directed towards your roof so they don't dent anything 😏

how does it do if your luggage has sharp edges like a foldable kayak ?
I saw an inflatable side rack you can put underneath it. it's meant for kayak.
Thank you!

Hello, I didn't see any comments about how waterproof the item is. How did it hold up under rains?
@91lapu14 It would be really beneficial if you would have responded in English
Just buy the roof bag made of full PVC, they really helps in the harsh weather
What about theft? Can we not leave the vehicle ever or is there a lock?
Legit shows a lock that comes with it
It comes a small lock but the carrier is made of fabric so a box cutter would open it right up
MASTER
🙏🏽
were the gloves necessary??
Why do you leave tags on your luggage?
No
👍🏽

That are door hooks for those who dont have roof racks on their cars.Now most roof bags sold on Amazon have door hooks included
Easy to steal
I just 💩 my 👖
Great video, thank you!
Can I put baby stroller inside it ?
