We offer both weather-resistant and weather-proof rooftop cargo bags. The weather-proof type offers superior protection for your enclosed cargo. Since the difference in cost is small, I do recommend the weather-proof variety as it will help protect your property from water damage but also from road dust and dirt.

If you do not consider that you need this protection the Rightline # RL100A20 is an excellent cost-effective choice. These bags will mount to any type of vehicle roof, including naked roofs with no hardware.

We recommend using a non-skid pad with all rooftop cargo bags. These prevent the bag from shifting around on the vehicle while you drive, which could cause scratching of your roof paint finish. Rightline offers part # RL100650.

It is a good idea to ensure that the vehicle roof is very clean before installing the pad and cargo bag. I also suggest that you check your Soul owners manual or consult with a dealership for a roof weight rating to ensure that you do not overload the vehicle.
