We mistakenly ordered a minivan without a roof rack, which was not good because we are a big family that goes camping a lot. Luckily, we found out Asinking makes a really good soft shell roof rack bag that can be attached even without a roof rack. It works good if you have a roof rack too.
But turns out roof racks aren’t needed! The Asinking rooftop carrier comes with hooks that attach to the window frames. Only annoying thing is you have to peel back the cushion from the door lining to attach the hooks. For me it didn’t cause any damage and I was easily able to pop the liner back in after use.
It’s pretty easy to load, even on top of a minivan.
It straps down very tight and I’ve had zero issues with the bag even driving 80mph+ on the highway. Just don’t forget to move your helper first!
On Amazon it’s listed as “Asinking Car Rooftop Cargo Carrier Bag – 100% Waterproof Heavy Duty Car Roof Luggage Carrier 21 Cubic Feet, Fits All Vehicles with/Without Roof Rack – Easy Install & Triply Reinforced for Secure Use”
The bag is water proof, I noticed the bag details say “water-resistant” and “water-repellent.” I guess you can’t say water proof anymore–but it is, not a single drop of water got inside.
There is a heavy duty zipper. There is Velcro that covers the zipper. There is no locking mechanism. I supposed you could put a lock on it if you really wanted to. I figure the chances of me getting my rooftop carrier robbed at a rest stop or at a campsite are close to zero.
Oh, and the material is really thick and tough, so it’s not gonna rip from wear and tear.
