Rooftop Cargo Carrier StrapRight Strapping System  TM

StrapRight (TM) consists of 4 pairs of ultra strong, ultra tough nylon webbing straps, designed for easy use on just about any vehicle.

Each pair consists of one long and one short strap.  One has a buckle (ladder lock) end, the other is simply straight.  Both straps have a loop at the end.  You simply place this loop behind your luggage rack bar and pull the long end through.  See the picture below.

Attach each strap to the luggage rack on opposite sides.  You will use at least two sets of straps, side to side or front to back.  If you have a four bar rack use all four sets.  Use the strap adjustments to position the buckle where you need it. Run the straps through the "D" rings, handles, or strap guides on your CTC.  Make sure each set of straps are spaced at least 20" apart.

 Fasten the straps using the buckle (ladder lock).  See the diagram below.

Here is what it should look like when you are finished.  You may only use two sets if you have a two bar luggage rack.

Make sure the straps are snug.  Give them a good tug with your hand.  Wrap up or tuck away any excess length of strap.  Always check your straps during your trip.

StrapRight straps come with the buckles and adjustors ready to go.  You may simply adjust them to change the length of the strap.  

StrapRight Special Features:  

No luggage rack?   Option One:  Notice the end loops are made with a buckle and not sewn.  If you don't have a luggage rack you can put car clips on these straps. 

No luggage rack?  Option Two:  If you can't or don't want to use car clips, you can attach two StrapRight straps together and make a long one (see diagram below left).  Simply insert one loop through the other and pull the long end through.  Make sure one end has the buckle.  Open your car doors, wrap the long StrapRight through your car and over top of the car top carrier, and buckle it!  Do this at least twice, through the front and back doors.  Make sure there is at least 20" of space between the two (see diagram below right).

Extra gear (skis maybe?):  With Classic, Sport, & two RoadMasters, you can place long objects on top of the packed CTC.  Run StrapRight over the entire load and strap it down.  TEST this very carefully before you take off.  Make sure your items are wrapped carefully and won't rub a hole in your carrier.

Strapping Tips:  

1.  Use the adjustments on the loops and buckle so you can position the buckle where it's convenient for you.  Once you are set, it's easier the next time.

2.  Always wrap up excess strap or tie it off secure.  Don't let it flap in the wind.  If you are sure about your adjustments and lengths, you can cut the strap shorter (cut at angle) and melt the end.  These straps are made extra long for any vehicle, you probably will want to make them shorter.
