Waterproof Roof-Mounted Storage Bag
This waterproof bag fits perfectly inside your Curt roof-mounted cargo basket (C18115-117 - sold separately) or within most other roof-mounted cargo baskets that can accomodate the bag's dimensions. This durable bag holds your gear on your roof, leaving more passenger room and trunk space. It is made of a heavy-duty material with welded seams and zipper flaps to keep your cargo dry. It opens on the front and side for easy loading with zipper pulls that can accommodate a padlock for added security.
The Curt cargo bag is constructed of a thick, UV-resistant vinyl that is designed to keep your gear clean and dry. Welded seams keep water from seeping into the bag.
As an additional measure of protection for your gear, a vinyl flap covers the zipper and secures with hook-and-loop fasteners (similar to Velcro) to keep moisture out. When rain or snow hits, you can continue on your journey, knowing your cargo is safe and dry.
Simple Mounting on Roof Cargo Basket
This bag is designed to be used with a rooftop cargo basket. Position the bag in your basket, and load the bag with cargo from the back and sides. Then zip up the bag and secure the zipper flap.
Adjust the integrated polypropylene straps on the bag to the length needed. Then wrap each strap end around the crossbars and side rails of your roof cargo basket so that the bag is secured. Tighten the straps with the sturdy plastic buckles.
When you are not using the bag, just remove it from your roof and fold it up until your next trip.
Lockable Zippers Secure Gear
The zipper pulls have holes through which you can insert a padlock (sold separately) to guard against theft.

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.

Great product. Fairly waterproof. Large, held a lot of luggage. Tie down straps were well placed and strong. Fit perfectly in my roof rack.

Worked fine for 8 trips, until my last trip in which I had rain ontop of my roof, where I left the empty bag. Not sure how as I removed the water ontop, but there was 1/2:in of water inside, when I got home. Must have come through the zipper as I could not find any holes and 1/2 in was too much for condensation.

Ok e owned many “so called “ waterproof bags over the years and Curt is the only one that truly does it’s job. My last one I had for 3 years and never had a problem, until it was stolen out of my garage. I guarantee, you will not be disappointed. Also I love that it zips open on three sides. Very convenient for loading.

I love this bag! It is very large and sturdy. As long as you don't abuse it (Example: Drag it across rough surfaces) and store it properly, I imagine it will last a long time. I have used it 3 times in the 1 year I have had it. I put it on top of my truck tonneau cover because I have tools inside the bed. I opted not to use the straps it came with the bag, so I use rachet straps to tie it to my truck ladder rack.

Is not rainproof at all. All of our luggage that was at the front of the rack were completely soaked after driving through a rainstorm. I believe the issue is that the flap that covers the zipper is not long enough. The size and price is right but I would not purchase again

1 year review: We used this with our oversized CURT basket throughout our travels within' the US but it wasn't as sturdy as advertised. There are already a couple small rips on the bottom of the bag. It didn't affect the inside but just a little disappointed at the quality. On the bright side, the bag was large enough to cover our totes, duffle bags, light coolers, and other misc. small things. Would buy again, only if the bottom of the bag was double or even tripled sealed so it doesn't rip so easily.
PS: We also did buy the oversized CURT net for extra protection. The straps you see on the pictures DID NOT come with the bag. If it did, we did not receive but a couple straps and the oversized CURT net did its thing!

After 1 year and many many trips in the back of my F250, this product has held up through rain, snow and highway driving wind. It sat in the back of my truck for 11 days after a 30" snowfall and when I opened it, the contents were cold but not wet.

Continues to be a good buy and provides good service in the back of my F250. Tied it to the top of a Toyota Sienna van for a drive to Minnesota this past winter through rain and snow at highway driving speeds - not a of moisture inside.

CAN PUT 3 FRONT RUNNER WOLF PACKS WITH HIGH DOMES INSIDE EACH OF THESE AND PUT TWO CARGO BAGS ON TOP OF MY SAFARI RACK....SWEET!!! GREAT PRICING TOO.

These are very challenging to work with when it comes to mounting them to vehicle roof rails and adjusting length of bar to it's equal on both sides. Once they're finally installed they look steong and astethetically appealing. Haven't tested them out with Curt roof rack yet

Pros: It is big and spacious and easy to secure to your vehicles as it has numerous straps! So very versatile for whatever gear you are bringing.
Con: It isn't as durable as I would have thought. I have only used it... maybe four times since purchase and typically use it a week or two during each trip. I don't consider that heavy use. But it started cracking/ tearing a bit after 1-2 uses. Not severely, it is still useable but it just surprised me as my wife and I weren't particularly hard on it.
It's a decent bag, and I think if you ok with replacing it every 3-4 years then it is probably a-ok. If you don't want to invest more every few years, it might not be the bag for you.

After a year of using this on my camper, I still give it a five. No leaks, very sturdy and stable. I have filled to the limit and probably beyond the limit and the bag has held up very well. We have been through heavy hail and rain conditions and there has been no moisture inside. Very tough bag.

See what our Experts say about this CURT Car Roof Bag
- Should Roof Rack Cargo Box be a Little Larger or Little SmallerHey Amy, so ideally you get a car roof bag that is matched well to the size of the cargo basket. Deciding on whether too big is better than too small will really depend on what you need to carry and how much smaller or bigger is available. I would probably go with too big as default as it could always be strapped down tighter.
view full answer... - Weatherproof Cargo Bag To Go With 45"x60" Surco Safari RackHello Jen, thanks for reaching out. The Curt Cargo Bag for Roof Basket # C18221 you were looking at is a great option to go with your 45x60 Surco rack. The Curt cargo bag is 34"x59" so it will fit nicely on your rack and it will maximize your cargo space. The Curt cargo bag is made of a heavy-duty vinyl which is great for keeping water out. All of the edges are sealed and there is a flap that covers the zipper. No cargo bag is fully waterproof, but this is about as close as you can get.
view full answer... - Roof Rack With Cargo basket And Bag For 2018 Nissan PathfinderYes, The Curt Roof Mounted Cargo Basket part # C18115-117 will certainly fit your 2018 Nissan Pathfinder if it has a factory or aftermarket roof rack installed with cross bars that are not over 3" wide x 1-5/8" tall. If you let me know what type of roof rack you have, I can tell you for sure if the basket will fit. If you do not have a roof rack and have raised side rails that run front to back from the factory, I recommend Thule WingBar Evo Crossbars part # TH711420 and feet part # TH710401...

- Recommended Waterproof Roof Bag for Use with Yakima Mega WarriorThere are a few different sizes of the Yakima Mega Warrior, like the # Y07080, which is 52" x 48" wide. For that I recommend the Rightline Gear Sport 3 Rooftop Cargo Bag - Waterproof - 18 cu ft - 48" x 40" x 19" # RL100S30. This bag would work really well on a cargo basket that size and since it's waterproof, you're going to be protecting your luggage from the elements. If you've got a larger Mega Warrior like the # Y07080-82, the Curt Cargo Bag for Roof Basket - Waterproof - 21 Cu Ft...
view full answer... - Whats Best Way to Lock Roof Cargo Bag to Cargo BasketBest option would be to wrap an adjustable cable lock around the bag and basket with an adjustable cable lock like the part # 8419DPF which would make it more difficult to steal the contents of the bag. Keep in mind that the material of the bag could be cut relatively easily and there's no way to prevent that. A locking roof cargo box like the Thule Force XT part # TH6357B would be the way to go for the best theft protection.
view full answer... - Can Curt Cargo Bag # C18211 be Installed on the Roof of a VehicleThe Curt Cargo Bag # C18211 that you referenced was designed for use on a cargo carrier but there really isn't any problem with you using it on your roof if you would like. I would just make sure that the dimensions 56" long x 22" wide x 21" tall will fit properly on your roof. The main difference between a cargo bag meant for a cargo carrier and one designed for a roof more or less has to do with the position of the straps. If you notice the Curt Roof Bag # C18221 has a few extra straps...

Unfortunately, Yakima does not offer accessory bars for the LockNLoad Platform # Y05047 and the platform will not be able to accommodate a RocketBox Pro like the # Y07192 . With that being said a great alternative is to use a cargo bag like the Curt Cargo Bag - Water Proof - 21 cu ft # C18221. The Curt bag is a great option because it will give you 21 cubic feet of space compared to our largest RocketBox (14 cubic feet). For extra security, you can add the Master...

If you have bags that are like the Thule Crossover Rolling Carry-On Suitcase and Backpack with Laptop Sleeve THTCRU-115STR that measures 23-3/16" tall x 15-3/8" wide x 9-1/8" deep, you only have enough room in the Range 3 to carry 2 of those bags.

The crossbar spread refers to the distance between the two crossbars on your roof, from center to center.

- Is There a Cargo Box That Will Fit a 2015 Mazda CX 5 With Fixed Mounting PointsThe 2015 Mazda CX 5 has fixed mounting points for a roof rack which are spaced apart much further than normal, 43" to be exact. I am not aware of another set of fixed mounting points that can be used so in order to use a cargo box you'd need to find one that can accommodate the the 43" crossbar spread. I wasn't able to find any cargo boxes that will fit large spread so best option would be to use the Thule Canyon XT # TH859XT-8591XT Cargo Basket along with the Curt Cargo Bag for Roof Baskets...

This bag is just a few inches smaller than the internal dimensions of the basket so it would fit well.

For example the Inno Square Crossbars roof rack part numbers # INB137, # INXP, and # INTR154 is a fit for your Tahoe and is compatible with the # C18115-117.
