This was the first time I used a roof top carrier. Putting it to gather was a little of a challenge because the instruction are not very clear but no college degree needed. I like the sides and rear loading. I was able to put one large suit case and one small one with enough room left for two Rip Sticks (vary large skate boards) and some bags. The carrier was very quiet, and after 7 hours of rain only one corner in the back was wet. It is easier to take off and store than folding it down and driving with it on. I highly recommend it.

Going on camping/road-trip with the family and need some extra space. Used our Prime membership to get it before the weekend. Arrived in a day - nice!
As others have said, install is challenging only because it's a very tight fit over the metal bars. With some work though we got it on the bars and then installed on the minivan ('08 Toyota Sienna) without issue.
Will update after the camping trip with how it performed...

Took this on a trip to Colorado from Ohio.
Negative: A couple of seams gave way maybe an inch or two long. That was disappointing. Needs to have some support on the bottom to prevent bottom sagging and flapping in the wind. Aluminum frame not the best. Product is made in CHINA.
Positives: Folds down to maybe a few inches thick when you are done--easier storage after your trip. It kept our clothes dry during the trip.

I bought this product after researching other soft-sided rooftop carriers. This one appealed to me for two main reasons: Collapsable (with cover) and attaches to roof rails. We have a condo, so not much room to store anything big. I was very pleased with the assembly of it. It took a little effort to insert the aluminum frame, but was not as bad as I had read in other reviews. Putting on the vehicle was relatively easy, although I recommend having it fully open to be able to access the holes and aligning the ubolts included.
We drove from Virginia to Florida (approx. 1000 miles each way) and the carrier did not move an inch. We packed is with two large duffels, beach chairs, beach umbrella and some other small items. This allowed us to have our third row of our Toyota Sequoia available for seating. Having access points on three sides was very helpful as well for loading and unloading. On our drive down, we went through a few heavy rain showers, and everything inside remained dry. Once we got to our destination, we unloaded it, collapsed it and covered it with the rainproof cover. This was great, as we were then able to park in a covered lot, unlike having a hard rooftop carrier.
I would definitely recommend this produce if you want a reliable and collapsable rooftop carrier.

The factory roof rack on my Camry wagon is rated only 100 pounds, so a solid carrier uses up that rating before adding any cargo. So this lighter carrier was interesting. It does 80 mph without a flap. I did have some issues though due to my assembling it imperfectly. Others have said that the instructions are clear but no matter how obvious, it was not clear to me that the rear top reinforcing spar had small pockets so that its ends could go INSIDE the red reinforcing patches. I put the ends of the spar against the red patches, and it kept vibrating loose, moving, and once poking through the wall of the carrier.
I assembled the frame alone first, and tossed it up on the car to align the crossbars on my car's roof rack; glad I did that. On mine, the frame tubing did not mate far enough for the spring-pin to reach its hole on one side, so I had to file it a little to get it fully engaged. I assembled the whole thing before putting it up on the car; glad for that too. Putting the bottom sleeve over the frame was very difficult as it seemed the frame was simply too big to fit in, by a little bit. Had to really struggle to try to stretch the material enough so that the velcro could reach over the front of the frame.
Putting it onto the car was aggravating, because the holes in the vinyl enclosure for accessing the brackets with their hand-tight knobs were not lined up with the holes in the aluminum frame. That made it very difficult to hold the carrier, the bracket, the knob, and put it together, while trying to force the edge of the vinyl cover out of the way. This is of key importance and should have been built better. I would rate the carrier very lowly because of this, except for that the carrier is roadworthy, once it's on, which pleased me a lot.
There are two nylon fabric handles on either side for lifting the carrier onto the car, which have vinyl wrapped around them to make the handles more comfortable. That vinyl handle raps against the roof when the handle flaps in the breeze, so I cut off the vinyl handle leaving only the nylon mesh handle inside, and was glad I did.
I drove 1500 miles with the thing packed, and ran through rain. Others reported it rainproof but I found some moisture or water came in through the velcro-flap-covered bracket mount locations, so, would advise against depending on the contents staying completely dry. Especially some water built up on the floor in the nose of the carrier as that area of the soft floor was depressed a little bit compared to the main area which was elevated a little more on the roof rack crossbars.
I did not even try running with it folded down and covered by the slip-on cover, 'cause I read other reviews saying it flaps in the wind that way; I just ran it fully erected even when empty, until finally removing it and storing it that way a few days after moving when moving activity had died down.
This did the job for me: added cargo space without adding a hundred pounds for the carrier alone, and allowed worry-free highway-speed driving while reasonably weathertight. So I give it high marks; I did not find other products like this available. Expect it to be difficult to assemble, though. Ralph
