Nice video. A little tip: Have the zipper close to the back. Safe Travels

[@rameshchander9978]

Does it remain stable at high speed? I mean on sudden apply of break don't it comes forward?

[@madeleinevargas8898]

Great video! Thank you!

[@user-ms2cz3ft2s]

The bag is the pricy option if you want a good, waterproof one about $200

[@kimberlyhenry9887]

thankyou so much for this! really helped!!

[@brittanydonneberg4918]

Love this

[@noahriding5780]

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.

[@user-ms2cz3ft2s]

Heavy or med tie downs seems like it would be more secure, idk if I would trust velcro. Especially at high speeds

[@noahriding5780]

Do these work also being installed on those towing hitch carriers?

[@kevinshea5819]

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?

[@dc5duben96]

this is good thing to have and cheaper than the roof rack system

[@paulmartinez2748]

Thank you!

[@samanthamccloud1534]

My weather stripping doesn’t pull back. What are my options?

[@reginasloan2201]

thank you!!!!!

[@geraouttahermaeens1075]

It should have diagonal strap to stop it from coming free if need to hard brake

[@user-ms2cz3ft2s]

Yeah this would work because I've searched & searched several auto pts warehouses online & local & No one makes a roof rack or straps for my Nissan

[@johndoe5247]

And, how does it do at 85pmh ?

[@rick1085]

How much weight can I put on before it dents my cars roof? I have a Chrysler 330.

[@ldubc8660]

My weather strip on my 2023 tahoe doesn’t pull back

[@SkubySnak]

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?

[@jsnccn69]

What is the size of one you bought? Is this the 15 cubic feet?

[@johndoe5247]

how does it do if your luggage has sharp edges like a foldable kayak ?

[@angelomagno6225]

Hey buddy, how big is the cargo bag you're using? Is it the 15 or 21 cubic feet?

[@BRUCECRUZ]

Looks like 21 cubic ft cause I got one

[@FernyBoyHBH]

Does it stay in place? I wouldn’t want it gliding over my windshield if I have to break quickly.

[@FixThisHouse]

As long as you secure it correctly and not under load it. Mine held up Fine on the freeway. 👍🏽

[@PriyaA-kc7cd]

where can i get this ​@@FixThisHouse

[@user-dg2fc4sc4d]

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?

[@OnwardOverland]

When I’m parked I just throw a tarp on it

[@khalabe8525]

Can I put the baby stroller inside it?

[@BRUCECRUZ]

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. 😊

[@jessicae360]

Would you recommend this for a Chrysler sedan moving trip from NY to Florida?

[@lenc3970]

Why are you NYers ruining Florida???

[@user-ju2ne6go2e]

😂​@@lenc3970

[@slxthkween]

NY sucks@@lenc3970

[@OnwardOverland]

@@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.

[@shaytaanisaloser]

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

[@Allen-L-Canada]

Will the luggages make a dent on the car roof? How heavy can an car roof support?

[@mr.c6674]

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 😏

[@Allen-L-Canada]

@@mr.c6674 thanks!

[@usaman7358]

@@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.

[@HaloMG]

@@usaman7358 cars are designed to stay structurally sound upside down hitting the ground in the event of a crash, i'd be more surprised if somebody even manages to fit 5000 pounds worht of stuff in that bag

[@chadkritzer5401]

Hello, I didn't see any comments about how waterproof the item is. How did it hold up under rains?

[@raquelsmileystewart3721]

​@91lapu14 It would be really beneficial if you would have responded in English

[@RunDMC540]

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?

[@OnwardOverland]

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

[@nervantes]

What about theft? Can we not leave the vehicle ever or is there a lock?

[@infumiinations1311]

Legit shows a lock that comes with it

[@supertimmy1000]

It comes a small lock but the carrier is made of fabric so a box cutter would open it right up

[@coolshots99]

Why do you leave tags on your luggage?

[@xavierpayan6989]

No

[@FixThisHouse]

[@jorgefacio690]

were the gloves necessary??

[@MANZANOADRIAN]

Easy to steal
