How to transport luggage on the roof of your car if you don't have roof racks or rails

Model: (Various brands) Various
Part: Roof rack bars

In this video we can see an indication on how to transport extra luggage on the roof of our car, even if we have not installed not only the crossbars, but also the roof rails. It may seem impossible, but there are roof bags that can be easily mounted, equipped with an anti-scratch mat that does not damage the roof, and that can contain a lot of luggage. We can find them for example on Amazon with the code B0DBVCN854, priced at 47.26 euros, with free delivery for Prime customers; the surface must be clean, we must open all the doors to install the hooks inside the seals; we lay out the protective mat, install the bag and fill it with luggage. We close the bag with the velcro and tighten the straps to prevent the wind from blowing it. Once at our destination, it will be easy to remove it from the roof of the car and store it in the trunk.
