Roof Basket
Roof Basket increases your travel storage capacity — so there’s no need to leave anything behind or take two cars and spend twice on gas. Roof Basket frees up interior space, letting you and your passengers enjoy a more comfortable ride on long road trips. Because you have two sizes options, large and XL, plus the ability to make both sizes longer, there’s a perfect fit for every family and every trip. Crossbars required and not included.

- Great for standard luggage and duffels
- Option to make Large size longer by purchasing Length Extender (additional 9.4" length)
Roof Basket XL - (External Dimensions: 50.1" x 52")

Whichever size you choose, remember to always use proper quality ratchet straps — such as WeatherTech’s Ratchet Tie-Down Straps — to secure your gear.
Both basket sizes are made from a high-strength plastic that’s durable and designed for years of use, so the Roof Basket won’t rust, chip or corrode like metal roof carriers. The WeatherTech Roof Basket has been tested to hold up to 175 lbs. of cargo; the roof rack itself weighs 25–35 lbs. Please respect the maximum load provided by your vehicle manufacturer when loading.
Roof Basket is crash tested by an Independent Testing Lab in the U.S. and passed the ISO 11154 standard for roof racks. Always use caution and common sense when installing and using your WeatherTech Roof Basket.

That does not mean that a product that simply and naturally wears out from normal use is a candidate for a warranty replacement or a refund. Like tires, brake pads or the shoes on your feet, everything wears out and when it does, that does not mean you did not receive good value for your money.
We are reasonable people and we believe in true customer satisfaction. We will work with you for a fair resolution to any issue you may have. Fair is defined as being fair to both you the customer and to WeatherTech. We do not charge extra for our products to our vast majority of customers so we can accommodate ridiculous warranty claims by the few. Our decision is final and will consist of either replacement of your product at no charge or charge you a prorated amount for a replacement, meaning we may extend a discount to you to purchase an exact replacement. Our goal is to keep our customers happy for a lifetime and always reach a fair resolution to any issue. Proof of purchase is required.
