1-
It is easiest to load your
Sport Car Top Carrier on the
top of your vehicle with its
closed end facing forward.
Make sure the roof rack is
secure to your vehicle and
don’t exceed its weight limit.
2-
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. (Fig 1)
IMPORTANT: PACK THE CARGO BAG FULL SO
THAT THE SIDES ARE PULLED TIGHT TO PREVENT
EXCESS MATERIAL FROM FLAPPING IN THE WIND
WHICH CAN DAMAGE THE BAG AND CAUSE
THE LOAD TO SHIFT, LOOSENING THE STRAPS.
3-
To close the carrier, engage
the ZipRight Zipper system
and fold the protective flap
down (Fig 2). Make sure to se-
cure all of the Velcro closures.
The Sport 3 and Sport 1 Carriers
come with a StrapRight Strap Set
(Fig 3). When using the Sport 3 and
Sport 1 Car Top Carriers, attaching
two straps front to back between the
cross bars or two straps side to side
between the side rails will sufficiently
secure the carrier.
1-
Each strap has two strap pieces
connected through a center buckle.
Unthread the short piece from the
buckle and secure it to your rack
by threading its end through its
loop and pulling tight (Fig 6). 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 d-rings on each side of the
cargo bag (Fig 7) and bring
them together on top of the bag.
3-
Thread the short strap back through
the center buckle (Fig 8). Make sure
that you have enough length on
each side of the buckle so that the
straps will not pull out under tension.
Option 1: Through The Vehicle
Run the StrapRight Straps provided with the Sport 3 and
Sport 1 Car Top Carriers through the open doors of the
vehicle and around the carrier to secure the load (Fig 9).

Directions for: Sport Jr., Sport 1 and Sport 3 Car Top
Carriers
The Sport Jr. Car Top Carriers come
with a Car Clip Strap Set (Fig 5).
When using the Sport Jr. Carrier on
a vehicle with a roof rack, remove
the clips from the ends of the two
straps. You may use the straps front
to back between the cross bars or
side to side between the side rails.
The correct attachment of this product is critical and
beyond the control of Rightline Gear. The safe use
and long life of this product depends entirely on
your good judgment and following these directions.
1-
Each strap has two strap pieces
connected through a center buck-
le. First, unthread the short strap
piece from the center buckle and
connect its loop end with the loop
end of the long piece (Fig 10)
to make one long strap again.
2-
Run the strap through the open ve-
hicle and through the d-rings on the
sides of the cargo bag, bringing the
two ends together over the top of
the carrier. Then rethread the short
strap back through the center buckle
(Fig 11) and tighten appropriately.
However, using all four
straps provides the most
secure method of at-
tachment (Fig 4).
