RoofPax Rooftop Carrier Waterproof Storage Reviews Summary

Waterproofing

Pros:

• "The waterproof zippers are a fantastic feature – smooth and reliable, keeping our belongings dry even during heavy downpours."
• "Rains everyday in Florida and it seen a couple of Tennessee down pour. All our stuff stayed dry the whole time."
• "It also kept everything dry when we had driven into some rain for an hour."
• "Didn’t move an inch the entire time we drove (up to 80mph)! Best part was, it drove for 12 hours in heavy rainfall, then sat for another 12 because it was too rainy to unload, and everything was COMPLETELY dry."
• "This luggage carrier was spacious, quiet and completely waterproof."
• "Roofpax is the real deal! We took a 4 hour road trip (one way) that ended in the pouring rain and our luggage was bone dry."
• "It is extremely waterproof! It has protected all of our belongings in this bag."

Cons:

• "Also, not sure what 'weatherproof' means because it certainly does not prevent water from seeping in."
• "The product is hands down a great product, however, had a small rip in two straps."
• "Doesn't secure well to the cross beams."
• "Pretty disappointed with the quality of this roof bag. It appears super durable but on our first road trip with it, the seam ripped on the flap that covers the zipper."
• "The bag was ripped, our beach chairs were damaged and so were our beach umbrellas."
• "Very disappointed due to the fact that it is not waterproof."
• "Our belongings were completely soaked."

Storage and Capacity

Pros:

• "When it's not in use, it folds down small for easy storage."
• "Very much recommend if you need the extra space!"
• "It's incredible how much we can fit in this spacious cargo carrier – almost a whole 3 months' worth of summer traveling!"
• "The capacity was so big we even fit a 5 x 8 rug among so many other things!!"
• "This bag is HUGE! It holds tons of bags and fits well on top of our minivan."
• "You can easily fit five larger suitcases in this thing, and it is VERY secure on my vehicle."
• "It was able to fit a dog crate, stroller wagon, 5 duffel bags, 4 small suitcases, and some other items."

Cons:

• "... for me, nothing to get overly excited about. I mean, it's essentially a really big bag that sticks on top of your car."
• "The only suggestion is the topper does not fit back in the storage bag easily, even folded neatly. Storage bag needs to be larger."
• "The last minor complaint is that the storage bag is really small making it difficult to get product back into it."
• "Also tells you to only store it in the bag that it came in, but it took an act of God to get it back in the bag."
• "The one drawback is that the protective mat and the three plastic storage bags don't fit in the carrying bag."
• "The center straps are a tad too short. They barely reached the buckle."
• "UPDATED REVIEW:- WATER WILL GET INTO YOUR CAR DURING RAINY CONDITIONS if using the door hooks."

Installation and Design

Pros:

• "It was easy to install on our mini van."
• "Installation is straightforward, thanks to the robust and easy-to-use set of 10 heavy-duty tie-down straps and 6 hooks."
• "It’s well designed and very easy to install."
• "The mounting system is GENIUS for those of us without roof bars."
• "It is easy to install and durable."
• "Glad I purchased this product works great with my roof rack."
• "Installation was a breeze and you do not need roof racks for this to work."

Cons:

• "Doesn't secure well to the cross beams."
• "First let me say that we know how to strap things down... it completely flew off the roof and landed in the middle of the highway."
• "The holder would not fit on top of our Nissan XTERRA."
• "I had to remove my crossbars on my roof rack because the bag was not sitting correctly on them and was creating an issue when loading up."
• "The straps rubbed against my SUV and created fine scratches on the paint."
• "The clips are sturdy but made of plastic. Time will tell how durable they are."
• "It is extremely time consuming and difficult to attach to car and put things in and out of it."
