Update. I attached the carrier to the rear of the car and it works flawlessly. Only issue I had was that the straps were about a foot too short to secure to roof rack so I had to use an additional strap on each side to attach to roof rails. I also used excess tie down to tie the two roof rack straps (tied them parallel to roof crossbars) to prevent straps from sliding down to the side of the car. Took on a loaded test run and worked flawlessly.
Others have complained straps did not hold. If you don't have experience with strapping down items I would suggest getting help from others. I put it up by myself thanks to pvc frame. I used a step stool to support it while I put on first tie that wraps around the carrier just above license plate and through hatchback. The corners of the pvc frame sit on bumper for extra support.
Holds a ton of stuff! I have 2 boogie boards, a beach dome tent, beach umbrella, six beach chairs, large blanket, and small tote of beach toys in this carrier. Easy load and unload. Picture shown with straps has all this gear! Great product if you build pvc frame.

Other stuff not just out of the box: We had to buy the clips but they were easy once we figured it all out. We followed another review's advice to put a board in the bottom (we bought light weight holed shelving board for like $5 and rounded the edges and covered with duck tape). We had to use bungee cords on the bottom cause we had nothing to hook the straps to and used the center strap just for extra support- put that inside the car where you want it first. It has tons of room- we had 8 bags of clothes, 2 sleeping rolls, 2 pillows, and some blankets and still had tons of room! But the weight limit is 100 lbs so we went to Walmart and got the blue shopping bags and put clothes for the day in those bags (Mon. bag, Tues. bag etc.) and skipped on the luggage. I am glad we did that cause I just had to pull a bag out and leave the rest but I could get to my stuff. I had a contact emergency and it was super easy to get to my stuff. No wasted space or weight with suitcases - although their would have been room. Really a cool product! Read the other reviews for great tips - we are so glad we did!

I don't have a roof rack, but I bought the car clips from the same company (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008YS3V88/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1), and they worked great. I also purchased a protective mat (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07GDBGDWV/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1) to place between the bag and the car, and I didn't have any issues with scratches. I was a little confused about the instructions in terms of the bottom straps, and I'm still not sure I put them on completely right, but I think the main goal there was to keep the bag stable against the car and from bumping along, so it seemed to work. It could also be that the bag was weighted down enough that it really wasn't going to move. For the PVC frame, I had trouble measuring the pieces and could have gone slightly longer, but it still worked well. I didn't want to have to use a wooden bottom and sand the edges, so we cut out a cardboard piece to be the right size and then stabilized that by wrapping it in duct tape. It worked great for a stable floor.
I didn't weigh the bag, but I think we may have exceeded the 100 pound recommendation. I'm not recommending you do that -- just saying. We also ended up putting the bag on the car first and then loading it, and that seemed much easier. I stuffed the bag to the brim with a few bags of vacuum sealed clothing (the medium and smaller bags -- not the extra large size.) We also had a couple of big ziploc totes with towels and bedding (something like this: https://www.amazon.com/Ziploc-70162-Flexible-Totes-Jumbo/dp/B003UEMD1M/ref=sr_1_2_s_it?s=hpc&ie=UTF8&qid=1539893571&sr=1-2&keywords=ziploc%2Btote.) We had other random bedding wrapped in moving wrap and at the last minute we added our robot vacuum and charging base.
I had a small lock, so I used that to lock the two metal parts of the outside zipper together. I imagine someone could have broken into this if they really wanted to, but I have the feeling it would have been noisy and not quick. We spent 2 nights on the road staying in motels, and we didn't have a problem with security. Of course, we were in relatively small towns too for our overnight stays.
We were in Florida a day and a half before Michael hit, and we drove through heavy rains throughout our trip. In the last hour of our drive, even with the wipers on the highest setting, I had to slow down and use my hazards because visibility was so poor. Despite this downpour, when we opened the bag, everything was dry, and I didn't find any water inside the bag. Again, I think the frame helped here because with the bag keeping its rectangular shape, the flap over the zipper was able to stay in place and keep water from going into the bag. When we unloaded the bag, we even had a pool of water on top that i had to scoop off.
I was a little skeptical of putting my license in the bag as well, but you can only access the license from the inside, and it fits tightly in place -- especially if you pack things in place like we did. I suppose with a sharp enough blade, someone could cut through the outside to get to your plates, but it wouldn't be a quick job. In terms of gas mileage, it didn't seem to cause any reductions. I also checked the straps at every stop, but the only ones I ever had to adjust were the bottom ones (and again, that's likely because I didn't put them on right. I think if I could find some thin ratchet straps I might use those next time instead. I also like the idea of another ratchet strap underneath the bag -- maybe with a couple more of the clips. I don't know that it was really needed, but it would have been more for my peace of mind. Also, like others have posted, I didn't have an issue with using the bag while driving at high rates of speed. Yes, I drove through Texas with some high speeds, and I never had a problem.
For the cost of this compared to other options -- including trailers and hitches or roof bags and racks -- it was definitely well worth the investment. I could easily see myself using this again. It's not the kind of thing I would set up and use for a quick trip -- but definitely for a longer one where I didn't need to get into my trunk and wanted to haul a lot of things.
p.s. Amazon, can I get credit for a roadway referral? While stopped in traffic on the interstate in Louisiana, I spotted someone taking a picture of my cargo bag. He wanted to get the brand name to know what to get. He then pulled up next to me, and I told him he could purchase it on Amazon.
p.p.s. If you're that Cajun gentleman from the interstate in Louisiana that saw this on the back of my white Kia Sorento, then yes, this is the bag you should get. If you want it to look as beautiful as mine did and be as stable, then definitely make yourself a PVC frame and something to use as a base/flooring -- either the wood people have suggested or cardboard wrapped in duct tape like I did. (For everyone else, sorry, there are no pictures. After our long trip and the longer time spent packing up and unpacking -- not just our two SUV's but a 26' moving trailer too, I just didn't have the time, patience, or energy to take pictures.)
Top reviews from other countries
The licence plate I bought was a uk motorcycle one and it was too big needed to trim down the top and bottom to ensure full plate was on view.
I had to make a frame out of pvc tubing to keep the bag sturdy.(cost about £12 for the parts from toolstation and amazon for connectors) But it has travelled over 300 miles so far with no issues. Hasn't had rain yet but looking at bag shouldn't see any issues.
When you put it on it doesn't feel safe but I can tell you it 100% is providing you have tightened it right. Handy tip most boots have black stoppers make sure the bag strap is above those if not tieing to bottom of car
Cannot be used at night due to no lighting on licence plate.(could be built on) But i dont need it for what I use it for.
Overall impressed hope this helps others 👍
I have knocked together a big box to go inside so I can now pack the bag while it is fitted to my car. I also bought a small LED strip off Amazon to Illuminate the number plate. Absolutely fantastic.
