Autodynasty Heavy-Duty Hard-Shell Roof-Top Car Storage Mount

Amazon Customer: Bought this half way through a month long road trip and had it shipped to our destination. Easy to lift / install on Ford Expedition. Holds more stuff than we initially thought, and proved to be tough. Have used on multiple shorter trips (week or less) after this. I wish it was a little thinner and could be opened from either side (and I would have bought 2).

Nicholas Hernandez: I read the reviews and I can say this after a few months with this thing on my 2005 Scion Xb. Wind noise? Actually helped quiet my car a bit as it deflects wind from my roof. Is it like adding a kite on top? Yeah, kinda. It's literally not part of the vehicle aerodynamics. Do I care? Not at all. It barely affects gas mileage for me and it helped get bulky objects out of my trunk that I could hear thudding about every time I would take a corner. I NEVER hear anything when coming to a stop or during acceleration. The hinges are plastic. I've had no trouble with mine like some others, but I also don't FORCE it to shut on something that's too large to fit like oversized luggage. That would be the only reason I could see the latches breaking and this well-built pod popping open on the highway. I've had ZERO problems with this and I use it to haul my full size spare wheel, tire iron, road jack, jumper cables and still have space for more. Plus, I can attest this is built to withstand some serious wind turbulence as I've had major cross-winds at high speeds on my daily drive to and from work and it never had an issue. I did, however, place sound deadening mat between it and my...

Ty D GroseTy D Grose: I had to modify it to fit my 23 Bronco Sport. I needed about 30 1/2 inches from outside edge to outside edge of my crossbars. The best you can get out of this carrier was 28 inches. I had to drill an extra hole at each corner and elongate four existing holes at each corner. Measure the outside edges of your crossbars before you purchase this carrier. After the mod the installation went okay. I'm 5'10" and had to lean a step ladder against the Bronco to get to the far U brackets. It is built well so I'm pretty sure it will be fine on our next trip

Trish StormyTrish Stormy: I have a 2017 Mazda CX-5 Touring. This fits nicely on the stock factory rails. Only problem we had was installing the last front rail mount didn’t match up with the holes. So we heated the U bolt and pulled it out a bit, cut some of the extra rubber off the screw end and then managed to get it through and it is stiffly secure. Gonna ride around with it for a week and see how it does for noise and such. In a fast test drive it was silent! So far, so good!

Update 9/12/23:
From PA to SC this did great with no drag on the Highway. We managed to store all our beach needs which was two large beach chairs, three umbrellas, beach tent, anchor and a medium size duffel bag. Overall the weight was around 65lbs which was everything I didn’t want in the car.

One other quick note, we are missing pieces to block additional holes so we are going to block them with a waterproof vinyl wrap. Gotta do what ya gotta do.

Brandi: We were in the market for a cargo carrier for my 2016 Toyota 4Runner and we didn't want to spend an arm and a leg, lots of research went into this and we ended up purchasing Hard Shell Roof Top Mount Car Storage Travel Luggage Box Cargo Carrier. It was a great investment!

The challenge was getting it on the car and making sure the bolts line up correct and lining up the cargo so it isn't off center, once that was done after about an hour and half we were golden.

We wanted all of our suitcases to fit in it, and we were able to get a boogie board, 3 Carry-on Suitcases and a Vera Bradley bag & a pillow. You have to be very strategic about putting the items in because if you don't have it in the carrier properly the lock won't lock.

We traveled from Dallas to South Padre Island, 10 hour drive in very strong storms and NONE of our items got wet at all! So that was a definite win.

I will say this is definitely worth the purchase due to the price and keeping things dry and safe, just make sure you are aware of what you want to put in it and be very careful not to overpack it. I didn't notice much of a gas issue either.
