can strap this on my roof through the inside of my car doors like other roof top carriers and could I use surf racks as well?

You could strap it to surf racks but there is no way to strap inside the doors.

If you have a roof rack you should be ok. When you strap the kayak down these buffers really compress, so the front and back of the kayak might bang on the front and back of the roof while driving if you don't have a rack, especially over bumps. In any case, you will need more straps than the ones that come with this setup.

Hi - I think maybe this one might fit a car better: Rightline Gear 100S10 Sport 1 Car Top Carrier .. We Have a Honda CR-V and got only the slip/protector pad and it worked GREAT. It poured when we camped last year and it was dry inside and never moved on the roof. The weight of your stuff and the pad do the job just fine .. we do not have a roof rack. Oh also we have a sunroof and it was functional so I think the smaller version should work for you without a cargo rack and possibly even if you have a sunroof.

If you are using a Trailer Hitch style carries as shown in the photo it should be fine. If you are putting it on your roof rack you will need full support under it. I drive a Chevy Traverse and have a carrier that is 60" wide. This thing is made of heavy material and plenty waterproof, but it doesn't have a support system of its own.

I don't know for sure, but your cars roof bars probably has a limit less than these are rated for. I carry kayaks and snowboards on mine. Works great for that, hope that helps.

Dear Linsey, good day to you. To answer your question I don't see any problem. This roof rack system is great, I use it all the time simple to use. The bags are very sturdy and the best part is that they are portable. if you buy them and are not sure how to use them I'd be more than happy to lend my advice &#128513;daoudtbalewa@gmail.com

Hello,no it can not. The bike does lock to the bike rack, but the bike rack does not lock to the car roof racks. Hope this helps.

No, it is made to hang a kayak from the ceiling of a garage.............and for this it works very well.If you were wanting to hang a car carrier from for storage I would buy some 2" straps and some hooks and that might work to store your car top carrier and then lower it to the roof when needed

I use the straps for my roof rack to secure the top kayak. No straps for the top kayak are included, but I have a set of other straps that work fine.

Unless you have cross bars you won't be able to mount it on top of the side rails. The soft bottom will rest on the roof and is best stabilized by having a pad of some sort. It would be very difficult to secure to the straps to the rails if the carrier overhung the rails since you have to loop the strap around the rail before securing one side to the other.

I have a vehical with a roof rack and crossbars. For vehicles without, you have to run the straps inside your vehicle, whether its a 2 or 4 door.

Hi Mauricio, Unfortunately we do not offer a Roof Rack for a ML-350 with a naked roof. We would recommend a trunk mounted carrier for you like the Thule Raceway PRO 9001PRO (http://www.thule.com/en-us/us/products/carriers-and-racks/bike-carriers/rear-door-mounted-bike-carriers/thule-raceway-pro-9001pro-_-1685473)

It could easily be strapped to a roof rack but the shape is designed for the cargo carrier. I would suggest using extra tie downs to secure the load from shifting. Bag is well made and I highly recommend it. No leaks thru heavy rains. Good Luck. CW

You could set a kayak on top of it provided you use a separate strap to tie it down to the roof. The "loops" are not very generous and are designed for surfboards. I could not fit my SUP board in it and returned it.

I used mine on my Toyota Sienna which had the rack and two cross bars. We spaced the cross bars just enough so the carrier would fit just inside and laid it directly onto the roof surface. The clips attached to all four sides of the rails/racks. Unfortunately, we returned it as it didn't even make it the whole trip. We used ours in the summer and the zipper tabs completely broke even though we had them locked together.

I'm no expert but I agree with you. This bag should sit flat on your roof and just use the rack to secure it. This does include straps to secure using your doors. I believe they even make a smaller size bag that may fit your vehicle better.

I don't see why not! We have used it for many trips on top of our subaru TriBeCa. I'm pretty sure you can use it with any type of roof rack. We've had it in extreme heat, cold, and rain and it's held up fine.
