Roof Cargo Bags

For those with a car or truck not equipped with a roof rack, CARiD offers a lineup of roof-mounted cargo bags with straps designed to hook to rain gutters or door jambs instead. So if marring the sleek profile of your sport coupe with a roof rack is unthinkable, soft rooftop bags with padding let you enjoy up to 17 cubic feet of extra carrying capacity without scratching paint. When not needed, the bags remove easily and store in compact cases.

Unless you have a van, sport utility, or pickup truck, you may have noticed how difficult it is to stow bulky items in the trunk of any modern sedan or coupe. Sloping rear rooflines leave less space for deck lid length – creating very shallow trunk openings that will not accept items with any amount of bulk. With soft roof-mounted cargo bags, you don't need to upgrade to a larger vehicle to gain increased carrying capacity if you have a growing family or changing needs.

For smaller cars, we offer the TowReady® Rooftop bag with a compact standard configuration of 39 inches x 33 inches x 14 inches with 10 cubic feet of storage space. It unzips and expands to create a storage area that's 10 inches longer and 4 inches higher with 5 additional cubic feet of volume when you really need it. The Thule® Tahoe offers this ability in a larger size bag and will go from 15 to 17 cubic feet with the ability to access contents from three sides. In this section you'll find a wide selection of waterproof cargo bags with lengths ranging from just over three feet to six feet in a variety of shapes and designs.

If you have a roof rack, luggage tray, or steel mesh basket already mounted to your vehicle's roof, we also feature bags designed especially for those applications. The Lund® Aerodynamic Rooftop Storage Bag features an angled front to reduce wind resistance and increase fuel mileage. It remains stable at the highest speeds, and water is deflected up and over the bag at all times on the road. Fiberglass-reinforced nylon fabric with heat-sealed seams provides the highest level of weather protection. For those that prefer roof bags made environmentally-friendly materials, the Thule® Caravan features plastic- and PVC-free nylon materials. There's even a roof bag in Army camouflage pattern.

When you're packing your car with toys and diapers for young children, beach balls and chairs, sports equipment or camping gear, you can say goodbye to last-minute agonizing about items that have to be left at home because they won't fit in your vehicle. Now you can bring just about everything with you. Note that sharp objects must be properly wrapped before stowing in soft roof bags, and these bags are not designed to carry heavy items such as spare wheels, gasoline containers, or other large items that might cause imbalance when shifting.
