Best Toyota Highlander Car Roof Bags

Purchased this cargo bag on the road and the good folks at etrailer shipped to my hotel with no problems. The product is the perfect match for the Smittybilt Defender roof rack for Jeeps - it fills the dimensions and is 16-18" high providing enough room for a lot of gear. The product write-up is correct - rubberized zipper, fold over top, etc. This is a quality product perfect for the Defender roof rack. Many thanks to Donna at etrailer for her help.

Cargo bag is great!. Waterproof, durable with easy set up and take down (as advertised) PROVIDED TIE-DOWN STRAPS ARE HORRIBLE!!!! Drove from Houston, TX to Miami, FL. Stopped in Bonifay FL to rest for the night. During the 10 hour drive to Bonifay, I had to pull over at least 10 times to adjust and/or tighten the straps. They did not stay tight. Over time they would work themselves loose and start to slap the top of the vehicle. That night I was going to fold it up pack our luggage in the Tahoe and return the cargo bag as soon as I got back from our vacation. I was very happy with the cargo BAG so I decided to go to the local WalMart and purchase a few ratchet straps instead. Once I tied down the cargo bag with the new straps, instantly it felt more secure. I threw the provided straps in the trash. We didn't have any problems for the rest of the trip to Miami including the 18 hour drive home. Something needs to be done with the cheap plastic clips on the provided tie-down straps. They do not stay tight. Over time they work themselves loose and start to slap the top of the vehicle. I knew the load wasn't going to go anywhere so a few times I would just let it slap the top of the truck for miles because I was tired of dealing with it. I would definitely recommend this product, but If you are going to purchase this product I would suggest you use a couple ratchet straps, it will definitely make your trip a lot less stressful.

We drove from Texas to oregon and back with this bag on top of our 2014 Ford Taurus. Along the drive, there was super hot weather, and some crazy storms in the TX panhandle and it worked great - kept everything dry. The car has a moon roof and I was worried the weight would hurt it in some way - crack the glass, cause leaking some how - but it didn't. We had to stop occasionally to tighten down the straps but it was never serious. The eye holes on the zippers are large enough you can put a small lock through it to keep it safe when you are away from the car for short stops, such as at restaurants. When we stayed in a hotel, we would take the bag off and put it in the cab of the car. Something you couldn't do with a hard shell! We put 4 carry-on size suitcases in it and two big pillows and there was still plenty of room for more. I weighed it afterwords and I think we had a total of around 50 lbs in the bag. All-in-all, this is a really good bag.

This rooftop cargo bag worked great! I drove over 400 miles, at highway speeds, and it did not budget! The video on the etrailer website on how to set up the cargo bag was excellent. I made sure the straps were right, and had a car w a roof rack, so installation was super easy. My trip with this carrier was a success!

I really like this bag. Fits basket! And you can stuff a lot into it. Not hard to take on and off. We did not have any issues with rain either!

The waterproof outer shell quickly (after a couple months) developed small holes/cracks that slowly seep water in the rain. The bag therefore lost its water resistant feature. Otherwise the bag is easy to install, lightweight (compared to hard shell alternatives), and I found it reasonably easy to access, open, and close. Before the small holes, the bag was water resistant. I took it on a trip in the rain and there were no leaks.

Love this bag! We load all our snowmobile gear in it and put it in the bed of our pick up truck. Keeps it dry during our driving trip and it’s only one trip to/from Truck to motel room. Great investment !

We used this for vacation this year and it worked wonderfully. In the past we have always used to rooftop carriers but I always found those hard to maneuver. This is very easy to attach and load/unload. Plus you can store it in a closet on vacation. Highly recommend.

Very Pleased with the performance. Drove from Pennsylvania to Arkansas 900+ miles through winter storm Helena. I used it with the Non-Skid Pad on a 2016 Honda Civic, bare roof. Everything stayed dry, no water leakage anywhere. It was roomier than I had expected, I managed to get a twin size futon, memory foam mattress topper, quilts, blankets & afghan, a husband pillow and a couple throw pillows in it, granted everything was compressed and tied tight, but it fit easily. My only ONLY negative is with the straps, I was not able to get them tight enough to suit so I added 2 additional (the blue ones) straps with ratcheting closure. All straps went through the car with no problem and the carrier did not budge! I did duck tape the front edge of the non-skid mat to keep it from flapping in the wind and making noise.

Very durable and well made product that has held up well over long distance trips in summer rain and winter snow (about 7000 miles in total). It has developed some small holes where it was chafing with the rack basket hardware due to my own fault, but I would definitely buy another one. It fits a ton and is great for extra vehicle storage when needed and folds up small when not being used.

One year update: Still love this cargo bag. Its really well made and still looks new after a year of traveling. Its definitely water proof and has kept our luggage dry through some strong southern US storms.

Extremely satisfied with this product. Curt was the only brand that promoted “waterproof”, not just that but it was the exact size that was needed. Just finished a 2000+ mile trip to Michigan’s UP. We went through a few “toad stranglers” w/o a drop of moisture within the cargo bag. The bag is made of quality coated fabric. The zippers & seams are heavy duty & withstood the high demand of accessing cargo while on the road. Cannot comment on the tie down straps that came w/ the bag b/c we did not use them, using ratchet straps was a little more familiar to secure the bag to our roof basket. Over all a 5 star product. Would purchase again in a heart beat.

We run a private SUV service in Colorado and just purchased our third Rhino Rack RRLB 350. This rooftop bag offers 12 cubic feet of capacity and has been used in several wet weather conditions without a single issue. This bag has kept our clients personal belongings dry in every storm, period. This 350 Model will easily hold two LARGE suitcases and one medium suitcase. If you need to hold more than that, there are two other models that offer more capacity than the 350.

Excellent product, completely waterproof. Bag was easy to install with adjustable straps everywhere. Bag compresses nicely after your items are inside. Very happy with the product!

I live in western Washington widely known for one persistent weather condition. Rain and plenty of it. Anything I pack in the Curt rooftop bag ALWAYS comes out dry. 5 star satisfaction period.

Greatly increased the cargo capability of our EcoSport. Easy to put onto the rack and take off.

So I think this bag is very well built, tough as nails. I’m taking it out on my first road trip in a couple of days. I am not using it as it is advertised. I am putting it on a hitch rack. It fit very nicely. Obviously I have a camper van and I’m not putting this on the roof. I will say that the straps are a little tedious. I will send along pictures, but I suspect I will have no issues with it at all. I will probably add my own straps.

It looks and feels like it will do the job! I bought this luggage bag for the recent purchased Rhino-Rack XTray small roof basket. It arrived quicker than originally promised. Unlike the roof basket the luggage bag was boxed well and not damaged in transit like the roof basket was.

A well built and sturdy cargo bag, lotsa room for luggage and equipment. Super easy to follow instructions and video.

Had it on top of our Jeep for a 6 month roadtrip. Kept stuff dry and pretty clean. The desert dust didn't get in to bad. We did use vacuum seal bags to help to keep stuff dry and no dust.

For the most part this is a good cargo bag. Easy to install and remove. Only issue is zipper has broken

I've used this once and it met my expectations. We will use this rooftop bag once or twice per year. I have not used it in rainy weather so I cannot say anything about the water resistance. It seems like a quality item. The seams, zippers and fabrics are sturdy. It is a bag that straps on to your cars roof rack. It does free up space inside the car. Thule nailed it.

Great product ! Kept my packages dry through a pretty intense thunderstorm.

The bag is excellent but the straps and in particular the snap buckles are cheap pieces of crap. We just returned from vacation and all but two snap buckles failed. I could change out the snap buckles but they are sewn into the fabric. If the buckles were good this bag is great.

I have had this for a year. I put this on the roof of my teardrop camper and went 15000 miles in 14 weeks. We went from New Hampshire to Alaska. This served the purpose well. It got drenched and wet inside until i figured out it was me. The zippers have a cover and when I cinched it down the cover pulled up. After addressing that, I had no more issues with things getting wet or water getting in. That being said, we did not carry things like towels in here. it was for our camp chairs, axe, our clam shelter and other odds and ends. worked well. I am gladd I have it. very durable would buy it again

Overall I am very pleased with the cargo bag. We did experience leakage after a rain storm however when it was unloaded and laying flat on the car roof. Water leaked through the zipper teeth but I don't think there is any way to avoid that hence the 5 stars rating. Since then I make sure the edges are tucked under so water can't seep in. It's made of tough material and I'm very happy with it's performance.

Just got the roof carrier for our new roof rack - we put a rhino rack with a basket on the roof of my wife's new Ford CMax. etrailer sold us the perfect sized, and perfect priced carrier to fit the basket. It was a bargain at $xx for 13 Cu ft of tough water resistant fabric. Came strongly packed, and right on time. We will saddle up the CMax next week and head for the beach for Thanksgiving!

This product is exactly what I was wanting. Great overall construction, durable and meets all my requirements of a great cargo bag. Will be using it soon as we begin our travels and am hoping that it is all we are expecting it to be. After using and seeing the performance of this bag, I am thinking that an "excellent" rating would follow. Thanks again for answering all my questions promptly as you made this transaction an easy one by choosing etrailer.com for this SportRack Rooftop Cargo Bag. Your fast shipping was very much appreciated. Thanks again!

This worked out great I put itvon top of my 94 honda civic. My order came 2 day delivery right before Christmas. My daughter and I had no trouble strapping it on roof and drove fr St. Charles Illinois all the way to Tacoma WA through rain, wind major snow storm. Nothing got wet inside and the bag didn't move at all. The straps that xame with the product were okay but I also used straps that had a come a long brackets to make it super tight. Best 80.00 I ever spent and love my rooftop luggage bag.

I selected this bag because of the reviews, the price, the fact that it is actually waterproof (not water resistant like so many other products out there) and the fact that the dimensions of the 9cu ft said it should fit within my Rhino Rack RMCB01 roof basket(the 12cu ft model should fit on the roof alone without the basket but that isn't the route I went) As a side note I wanted a roof box but this combo cost me about 1/2 the cost of a good box. I also didn't want to place bag this directly on my roof (which the product is designed to do). I have a cargo net and some straps that will secure it and keep an under-packed bag from flapping around at highway speeds. With a baby on the way, I didn't want to rely on my wife's SUV only, if we have to travel in inclement weather. After it arrived I filled it with our normal suitcase, dog kennel (for small breed) and a couple of bookbags full of clothes with some room to spare. This leaves the hatch space open for the behemoth of a stroller my wife got (and at least another bag or so with the wheels off). We don't have one yet, but I believe with re-arranging of the bookbags I could fit a travel pack n play. For reference the car is a 2010 mazda 3 hatchback. I have not had a chance to test this out on the open road yet or in a rainstorm for that matter so I cannot attest to the actual waterproofing aspect. I also have zero experience with waterproof material but initial inspection the design seems sturdy and maybe its just me but every time i pull the zipper i feel I am going to rip it out(could just be the amount of resistance I'm feeling, as you have to basically bend the "corners" of the bag just right so that the zipper track moves) and I worry about snagging the bag getting mounted even though the material seems tough enough. I am the overcautious type and I may be more delicate with it than I need to be so it'll probably be fine. I may update review after I actually get to use it but from the aspect of why I bought it, what it can store and the price point it fulfills all of that thus far. Size wise I thought it was going to be too small when I ordered but it fits my needs perfectly fine. I was very pleased with etrailer, I checked a few websites that I've ordered from before and this time i paid attention to the other reviewers. Delivery was fast and etrailer even emailed to confirm I had received the product. Lastly, my only complaint was that the factory box the bag came in looked like it had escaped a prison camp then thrown off a cliff. I took photos just in case but the contents were fine so no biggie.

Storage bag was great-good size for our needs.

Everything was dry and secured on the roof of the car.

This worked as advertised! I bought if for a little extra protection to go along with our cargo soft bag (also from etrailer) that I put in our Thule rooftop basket. Worked great on our 16 hour drive.

I was extremely impressed and happy with this item. The quality is very good and it is much larger than I expected. I would definetly recommend this to everyone I know looking for a cargo carrier. I got much more than I expected for the price I paid.

We used 2 of these bags on the roof of our Chevy Bolt to help us move across the country. It was really convenient to be have large roof storage while being able to easily carry the bags into our hotel room each night for security. We used the included straps to thread through the bags' strap holes and cinched them down to our roof rails. There was no shifting at all. We just put towels underneath to protect the car paint. Overall, very happy with the purchase.

The rain proof duffle bag is extremely well made. This duffle bag will be used on a luggage rack located on the back of my motorcycle. I needed a bag that was well made that could with stand all the abuse of the open road. The choice of this bag took me a while but the help from their excellent and patient sales lady helped me make the right decision. I would definitely order from etrailer again.

I bought it last year, have only used it twice, no complaints so far. Not too difficult to attach Yo the crossbars

I haven't used it yet but I'm sure I like it.
