Roof Cargo Bag Recommendation for a 2001 Subaru Forester with Roof Rack
Question:
Hi there, Question for anyone who have experience this bag, please comment. I am thinking of buying a MaxxTow cargo bag for my roof top. for a trip from PA to TX, I am wondering if anybody knows how does this bag fair out on the rooftop. I have a 2001 Subaru forester with bars on top of the roof to allow easy access secure things on top but I am concern about the long drive with this thing on top. Thank you and God bless!

If you plan on carrying a cargo bag on the roof of your vehicle you would want one that is specifically designed to attach to a roof rack like the Rightline Ace 2 Rooftop Cargo Bag # RL100A20. This rackholds 15 cf of cargo space, a little morethan the Rola that you referenced and would do an excellent job as a roof rack for your trip.
I also recommend a protective pad, # RL100650, to protect the roof when using the bag.
I attached a review video for this bag for you to check out as well.
