Can I use this to secure luggage on the roof of a Ford Expedition?

I wouldn't - but if you do, proceed with caution. Perhaps if you have something non-slip between the luggage and roof, it might be fine. Make it very tight.

I would not attempt it. It is pretty stretchy and things might not stay in place.

you would need the pieces on the roof of the car to attach the straps to or otherwise there is no way to keep it on your roof but i otherwise i think it would be fine on a car roof

We only used it for carrying pole vault poles which are not as heavy as a cargo carrier could get. A cargo carrier also will present more wind resistance and forces associated with that resistance as a function of how fast your are driving. I would consider installing a tow hitch followed by a metal basket that mounts in the tow hitch. This would be easier to load up and won't damage your roof. http://www.jcwhitney.com/curt-class-iii-receiver-hitchesfor-use-with-small-campers-boathorse-trailers/p2011910.jcwx?filterid=c2309d2171u0j1

I don't think this could be used in this fashion. Possible, but doesn't seem at all practical. I use the large size pool "noodles" to move my yak from trunk to roof. Works like a charm . I use two, one gets me to the roof and then add the second to the back end. Just roll the yak on the noodle. I leave them in place to protect the roof for tie-down.

Hi,I carried an aluminum canoe on my 5 door golf using this rack once, so I think your kayak would be just fine. You'd need straps to tie down to the frame of your car though, obviously. This rack pretty much just serves as an offset so the kayak isn't riding right on the roof. I think if you wanted to secure the kayak without using rope etc. you'd have to find some special connection in addition to this rack.

This product rests on the top of the roof of your vehicle. You then hook the supplied straps to the ends of the bars and run them through your door openings on each side and connect and cinch the ends together inside your car or truck. I have found that the weight of the item you are carrying tends to hold it down pretty well. I use this product for 16-20 ft. long lumber. The racks on my canopy are not wide enough apart to catch the end of such long lumber so this rack makes it possible and keeps the wood from hitting my truck cab roof. Works well for light duty and infrequent use.

as long as you have it secured properly it will work fine. The key is securing it to the roof top.

Yes. But be careful about hitting things...the pieces are fragile and can get loose and cracked. Powerful magnet. Do not twist on because the magnet WILL scratch your roof if you don't take it off right.

Yes on top of our Ford Explorer I put down a sleeping mat ground mat on top of roof and over rear crossbar --- drove over 1000 miles with no issues . Be sure to keep enough items in bag to keep the top always over zippers even if it means putting cardboard boxes in it ---- if zippers are not covered it can leak ---- I still put all our gear in plastic garbage yard type bags for an extra measure , to keep thing dry as we drove in some heave thunderstorms at times . Yes it will work

Yes, but you will need the security tool to "lock" it or use ty straps to secure.Thanks , Chris

I don't know. We use it on a motorcycle. I'm assuming if you have a place to put it just might be able to secure it but not for sure.

You would definitely want to strap it to a car rack. Otherwise the bottom would scratch up your roof because the underneath is a hard plastic.

You do need a place on top of the vehicle where you can attach the hooks of the tent. I don't have a full luggage rack, but do have roof bars that worked fine to hold the hooks in place. Without those bars it may be challenge finding a place for the hooks to hold.

Here is a link to the one I used. I didn't mount it on the roof, but it says you can: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0007U5C2O/ref=pe_385040_30332190_pe_175190_21431760_3p_M3T1_ST1_dp_1 Scott

My car has no roof rack, and the pack works. It has straps that loop inside the car (basically a loop around the roof, through the door openings).The pack can hold a lot off mass, so I would be wary of a temporary roof rack unless it is attached really well.

I think you could. if you just make sure you close the lid on with a clip that wont let it come off. We made sure it had a good clip when it went on a plane and you know how hard they are on luggage. I would say there is a way to figure this out with bungee cords or straps.

No, I do not think so. It is way too big, heavy, and would likely ruin the roof. On a roof ice dam, I would use the flat side of an axe to shatter the ice.Or use an electric warming defroster. You would likely fall off the roof trying to haul this heavy thing up there, and would go right through the roof before you knew it, if you turned it on. Way over kill. If you insist on using a vibrating hammer, get a little air impact hammer that uses a compressor on the ground.
