Review on 🚘 Reese Explore 1041100 Waterproof Car Top Carrier: 15 Cubic Feet of Extra Space by Derrick Shah

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Very good for the price

This is great for the price. We had to move across the country and didn't have a roof rack but we combined it with a mat underneath and used strong ratchet straps and it got us here with 2 full suitcases, some pillows and our laundry bag. Inside. We made sure to distribute the weight as evenly as possible. It's on a small Prius and it worked. I'm giving it one star for one reason: 1. When we got here after over 2000 miles it started to be covered with tiny cracks in a few places. I think this is pretty fair wear and tear for the trip we took and the amount of damage we sustained from the intense sun, wind and rain, driving at highway speeds most of the time. If we had to go through this step again, we'd happily buy the same product and maybe try covering the bag with a tarp or something to protect it a little more. Please remember we used a floor mat and some strong brackets to ensure we were safe given the intensity of the ride and the lack of a roof rack (the manufacturer does NOT recommend using it without a roof). Frame).

Pros
  • Great price
Cons
  • Short instructions
