Rooftop cargo carrier - suggestions/ comments needed

just don't put the dog up there or it'll cost you the presidency

I'd go hard case, even though they are definitely more expensive. But you don't have to worry about loading a certain way to achieve weather proofness or proper load distribution.

Are they ok to sit on top of glass panoramic roof?

Definitely not. Pano roofs aren't made for that kind of loading. If you don't have factory roof rack, you can get Q towers or similar for your vehicle to add an easily removable rack.

We have a Yakima Rocketbox.

It's great. You can fit a surprising amount in it.

Allowed us to buy a QX60 instead of a larger SUV (since the only time we would need that much storage behing the second row was on long duration trips). We got the roof rails and crossbars with the intention of getting one.

Or tie him to the bumper

I have the tracks on sides so will only have crossbars to attach to.

I have a hardtop carrier with crossbars that fit Ford Explorer track that I no longer need you can have if it will work for you.

Wife felt the need to upgrade to Land Rover by crashing the Explorer last year.

Go with a Thule. You won't regret it.

What city you in?

Constantinople

Istanbul was Constantinople
Now it's Istanbul, not Constantinople
Been a long time gone, Oh Constantinople
Now it's Turkish delight on a moonlit night

Every gal in Constantinople Lives in Istanbul, not Constantinople
So if you've a date in Constantinople
She'll be waiting in Istanbul

Even old New York was once New Amsterdam
Why they changed it I can't say
People just liked it better that way

So, Take me back to Constantinople
No, you can't go back to Constantinople
Been a long time gone, Oh Constantinople
Why did Constantinople get the works?
That's nobody's business but the Turks
