just for future viewers, the mat or protection doesn't seem to be necessary. hard sharp things shouldn't be packed in roof bag because they will damage the bag. If there's no hard, sharp or super heavy items you'll be okay. These are for filling completely full, tightening completely and driving long distances at high speeds. most of the bags are made of a rubber and it doesn't damage clear coat. This is not just my experience but also found in other reviews I've found.
@@silverdropstang as long as you don’t put heavy items on top, and don’t exceed the owners manual roof cargo weight limit, it’s fine, especially with smaller cars. The biggest drawback I’ve experienced is the wind drag on the car could reduce gas mileage. You will notice it. That is my concern using one of these again.
It looks like the inside strap in front would get in the way of your head when you're sitting behind the wheel, as the strap is riding several inches lower than the inside roof.
I have a 2005 Trailblazer. How do I find out what kinds of racks that goes on top of the car. In the cold, I can put ice trays and food in a create on top of the car ?
I wonder if this would work with a 3 door hatchback like a Yaris? I suppose I could put it around the front doors and use the hatch instead of the rear doors?
The wrap isn't for me bro but you keep your car clean and it looks great. Thanks for the tips on the cargo top. Putting one on my Fiat 500 Abarth tomorrow and a bit nervous about scratching, even with the rubber mat.
I cannot stress this enough you have great content. I do have a question do you have a reference video of how you did the roof on the corolla. Im assuming it's a gloss black vinyl roof wrap?
