How waterproof is the RoofBag
Cross Country carrier?

The RoofBag Cross Country Carrier is the most waterproof soft car top carrier in the market. The fabric used to make the RoofBag carrier is coated with a heavy layer of vinyl on each side, which makes this fabric 100% waterproof.

All the joints are electrically sealed, not sewn, making the joints fully waterproof. A 2-inch double-thickness zipper flap covers the zipper. The zipper tape is polyurethane coated, which makes it waterproof.

Our carriers have been tested successfully under the most extreme weather conditions, and countless customers have confirmed that our car top carriers are not only waterproof, but also snow-proof and dust-proof (see Car Top Carrier Reviews and Testimonials).

However, water can enter the carrier through the zipper if the zipper is not closed all the way or if the zipper flap is not pointing down all the way around.

PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID WATER ENTRY

    - Install the RoofBag carrier with the logo toward the rear of the car.

    - Close the 2 zipper sliders all the way until they touch at the rear of the carrier.

    - Use the carrier full or almost full whenever possible. This forces the zipper flap to point down and cover the zipper.

    - When using a half-empty carrier, fasten the straps so that the zipper flap points down all the way around.

With proper installation, water cannot enter the carrier under any storm conditions.
