Rightline Cargo Bag Recommendations for my 2011 Ford Edge

Question:

My car is a 2011 Ford Edge with a moonroof. It is a bare roof. Is this the best product for me? I was originally interested in the bags that hang of the back but it seems u need to have roof racks.

Actually, the Rightline Cargo Hatch Saddlebag # RL100B90 you were referring to will fit your 2011 Ford Edge thanks to the Rightline Car Clips # RL100605. These clips attach to a naked roof to allow the Rightline Saddlebag to fit on the rear of your vehicle.

The Rightline Saddlebag has a carrying capacity of up to 13 cubic feet and a weight capacity of 100 lbs and features a 1-year warranty. You will want to ensure you do not exceed your vehicles roof capacity when using this product. I have included links to the installation instructions to both of these items.

The Rightline Sport 3XL Rooftop Cargo Bag # RL100S30 you referenced is not an option I would go with given the moon roof on your vehicle as you would not want to risk putting any weight directly on the glass. However, if the dimensions of the bag allow you to keep the weight of the bag off the moon roof, this item would be a compatible fit as well. I have provided a link to the installation instructions as well as a video review of this cargo bag as well.

You will want to ensure the bag and the part of the vehicle that touches the bag is completely clean and free of grit to ensure there is no scratching of your paint. You may also want to check out the HitchMate Wheel Mount Step # HE4040. It is a universal step that will help reach items on your roof.
