Question:

I have a Mercedes C-Class and a Jeep Wrangler. Is there/do you have a car top carrier that will work on both?

In regards to using a rooftop cargo carrier (cargo box/cargo bag) on multiple vehicles, it really comes down to the roof type of said vehicles. If they both have a roof rack then you can pretty easily use a cargo box such as the Thule Force XT L Rooftop Cargo Box part # TH6357B on both without much issue. If they both have a bare roof then you can pretty easily use a cargo bag such as the Rightline Ace Jr Rooftop Cargo Bag part # RL100A50 on both without much issue. If one vehicle has a bare roof and the other has a roof rack that is where things can get tricky so we'd need specific on each to inform of options.

Please note, roof racks are vehicle specific so you would not be able to transfer this from one vehicle to another without new parts.
