Go to the opposite side of the ve-
hicle and secure the long piece
to the rack by the same method.
2-Run both strap pieces through
the handles on each side of the
cargo bag and bring them to-
gether on top of the bag.
3-Thread the short strap back through the center buckle
(Fig 9).
Run the StrapRight

Directions for: Classic Car Top Carrier
1-It is easiest to load your Car
Top Carrier on the top of your
vehicle with its closed end fac-
ing forward (Fig 1). If using the
waterproof liner, put it inside the
carrier first (Fig 2). Make sure the
roof rack is secure to your vehicle
and don’t exceed its weight limit.
2-Fold back one edge of the
Classic Carrier to keep the Vel-
cro around the opening from
closing during loading (Fig 3).
3-Place your gear inside the carrier, evenly distributing
the weight. Place items with sharp or pointed edges in the
middle and pack softer items around them to protect the
carrier material. Leave at least 12” of unpacked space at
the opening of the carrier so that there is room to close it.
4-Connect the Velcro tabs on both sides of the opening
and then secure the top and bottom Velcro pieces to-
gether. Roll the opening toward the gear tightly with at
least two to three folds - just like rolling up a bag of
potato chips. If the carrier is not at maximum capac-
ity, keep rolling until the bag is tight around the gear.
5-Bend the two ends of the opening together and clip
the buckle (Fig 4). Tighten the buckle strap to make sure
it is secure. If the Velcro sections do not easily press to-
gether or you can’t get at least two to three folds, it
probably means the Classic Carrier is over packed.
IMPORTANT: THE OPENING OF THE CLASSIC
CARGO BAG MUST BE ROLLED UNTIL THE BAG IS
TIGHT AROUND THE GEAR. THIS STEP WILL PRE-
VENT EXCESS MATERIAL FROM FLAPPING IN THE
WIND WHICH CAN DAMAGE THE BAG AND CAUSE
THE LOAD TO SHIFT, LOOSENING THE STRAPS.
6-The big fabric loops by the buckles can be used with the
PackRight Security Cable Lock. Run the cable through the
loops and around the luggage rack, adjusting the cable
for a tight fit so that the lock doesn’t bounce around (Fig 5).
You can usually tuck the lock into the end fold of the bag.
Option 1: Through The Vehicle
The Classic Car Top Carrier comes with a StrapRight Strap
Set (Fig 6). Attaching two straps front to back between the
cross bars (Fig 7) or two straps side to side between the side
rails will sufficiently secure the carrier, however, using all
four straps provides the most secure method of attachment.
