Roof mounted cargo boxes are weather resistant, but not waterproof. Under severe weather conditions it is possible that some moisture could get into the box.

If you have something that absolutely cannot get wet, then we recommend putting it in a waterproof package first such as a sealed plastic bag before loading it in the carrier.

I included a great video review, picture and informative article for you too.
