The Rightline Sport 3 XL Waterproof Rooftop Cargo Bag # RL100S30 can be used on just about any vehicle whose roof is large enough for its 48-inch x 40-inch footprint. The bag's included straps allow for use on vehicles with or without a roof rack, so a car like your 2004 Toyota Camry with a naked roof is fine. The straps will be routed through the interior of the car to secure the bag, as shown in the linked video.

We recommend using a non-skid pad with a cargo bag like the Rightline. This will both help reduce movement of the loaded bag while you're driving and also protect the roof's finish. You can use pad # RL100650 also from Rightline.

It is also a good idea to ensure the roof and the bottom surface of the pad (and bag) are nice and clean before you load up your cargo. Any trapped dirt or grit can act like sandpaper so keeping things clean is the best way to avoid and dulling of the roof's painted finish.

Some users of rooftop cargo items also choose a tire step like # HE4040 to help provide easier access for loading and unloading. This tire step simply slips over a rear tire to give you a height advantage, and it comes fully assembled and folds for easy storage inside the car.

Its also a good idea to check your owner's manual to confirm the car's roof weight capacity which might vary from one version to another. You'll want to ensure your loaded cargo weight does not exceed the car's capacity.
