Review on Keeper 07203 Waterproof Cargo Cubic by Jon Thompson

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Runs like a champ after a few extra steps.

After much thought I managed to get rid of the trunk noise. Steps 1. Fasten the luggage bag over the cross members on the roof. There is a gap of approximately 3 inches between the roof and the bottom of the pannier. 2. Cut out two 34" x 43" pieces of wood (I think) in the bottom cargo pocket. hit the roof. I used 2 pieces of 1/4" thick plywood which I glued together with the grain facing opposite directions to prevent sagging. Also round the edges a bit and sand them to prevent tearing.3 .Used a pair of ratchet zippers to better secure the cargo bag.4.Wrap the cargo bag tightly with 100 feet of 3/8" polypropylene rope (you can use much thinner rope). Bongos are playing on your roof, I hope so helps. List of things: large dog crate, 1 large suitcase, 1 medium suitcase and 1 large duffel bag. The only downside to the cargo bag was the reduction in gas mileage. In my Prius I lost about 10mpg on average (up from 42mpg on 32mpg) I'm comparing this to 4 other trips round trip to the same place However, there's not much you can do with it with more weight and more resistance, it's great although the bag does fold up easily leaves and does not take up much space in the garage. worth your money.
