RightLine Car Clips Fit on Chevy Suburban, Ford Expedition and GMC Yukon XL
Question:
Will the car clips work with a Chevy Suburban, Ford Expedition and a Yukon XL to secure any of the naked roof bags or duffle bags?

Rightline tells me that they don't have any vehicle specific fit information, but that the clips will work with most vehicles.
I've used similar products and the past, and unless this is for a one-time use, you'll be much better off installing a roof rack or using existing roof rails to secure a roof mounted cargo bag. The two hassles I experienced was that the hooks didn't hold very tightly which allowed the bag to scoot around, and the hooks/straps allowed some moisture to wick into the interior of the vehicle when driving in the rain.
Can l suggest an alternative? All three vehicles you mentioned would typically come from the factory with a trailer hitch. A hitch mounted cargo carrier like the etrailer brand # e98874 and a cargo bag like # 988501 would be a much better solution that would work great with all three vehicles and be much easier to load.
