Rola Platypus Expandable Rooftop Bag Review - Video
Today we are going to show you part number 59100 from Rola. This is the Rola Platypus Expandable Rooftop Bag. I will cover a couple of features of this cargo bag, which is really nice. First off, it is expandable from 10 cubic feet to 15 cubic feet by simply unzipping the zipper on the very bottom of the bag. The construction of this bag is heavy-duty, premium-quality, weatherproof construction, and it comes built in with eight tie-down straps. So you have got four straps on each side, basically two in the front, two in the rear, and two on each side. It also has a built-in aerodynamic shape, as you can see here. It actually matches the roofline of this vehicle quite nicely. Let us go ahead and show you how it gets attached to the roof rack and a few of the features of it. more

Thule Ranger 90 Rooftop Cargo Carrier Review - Video
Today we have part number TH630 from Thule. This is the Thule Ranger 90 Rooftop Cargo Carrier. And this is a really nice, unique cargo carrier. And the difference is it is kind of a cross between a soft cargo carrier and a rigid one. And we will show you the differences between the two. As a conventional soft-cover bag, basically the bag will sit here in between the rails here and sit on the roof. Probably not too much damage will happen, but over a long period you could have rock or dirt or dust that get in there and kind of rubbing your paint job. Where this has a rigid base on the bottom so it stays off your car and on your load bars, which is really nice. The sides are rigid also, but the rest of it is going to be just like a conventional soft carrier that you are used to using. This cargo bag mounts to virtually any type of roof rack like the Thule we have here or a factory roof rack. It has a simple U-bolt system. However, unlike most U-bolt systems where you have kind of like a plate on top and two thumb wheels or nuts that you have to screw down it is kind of like a pain and is kind of time consuming this has a totally different system of how it attaches to the cargo carrier. more

Rightline PackRight Sport Roof Cargo Bag Manufacturer Review - Video
This is one of the PackRight sport carriers by RightLine Gear. All of the sport bags are aerodynamically shaped to save you dollars at the gas pump. We also use what we call the zip right in the flap zipper technology on these bags. Most bags have their zipper right here in the crease between the side of the bag and the flap. But that is also where the wind drives all of the rain water in to your bag. We put a urethane coated zipper on the flap itself to keep water from entering the bag. The zipper itself goes three quarters of the way around the bag. You can load the bag on the ground or on top of the vehicle, whichever you find preferable. Once you have done that, you take the straps that come with it and go around your luggage rack. You can either use two side, or two front straps, or all four, depending on what you have available on the vehicle. The strap goes up through the guide and finds the strap that you have done the same thing on the other side of the car and goes down through the buckle like this. You pull it tight but not too tight. And then you tie off the excess strapping on this end so it will not flap around in the wind and you are ready to go. 1:27 more
