Rooftop cargo bags are great for keeping your cargo dry and clean, including suitcases. I have included a link to all of our cargo bags for you. Dimensions of the bags will be listed on the product page.
Some of the bags are designed to be used on a bare roof while others mount to roof racks or baskets. You can use the filters on the page to narrow down the search to the application that is right for you. One of my favorites is the Rightline Sport 3 XL Rooftop Cargo Bag, # RL100S30, which measures 48 inches x 40 inches x 19 inches. This bag is constructed of a waterproof material and will mount to any roof style, with or without a roof rack. If you plan to mount a bag directly to the roof, I recommend using our Non-Skid Roof Protection Pad, # RL100650, not only to help keep the bag from moving around but also to protect your vehicle's roof.
I always like to remind everyone to check the roof capacity of their vehicle before loading any cargo onto the roof. Exceeding the roof weight capacity could damage your vehicle.
For added convenience when loading and unloading, we also offer the HitchMate TireStep, # HE4040. This stable platform provides a step to access roof mounted cargo with ease.
