Default 250c Soft roof top cargo bag?

Hello, I am wanting to take my 2012 250c on a short road trip but really need some extra cargo space. Does anyone know if you can use a soft rooftop cargo bag with a 'through the window' with ratcheting straps? Any advice would b e appreciated!

Personally - I would avoid it. The roof setup is finely tuned and anything that risks throwing the alignment out could result in a costly fix.

I wouldn't warn against that, just don't try to operate the top until you take it off the roof.

Thanks, for the good advice. Weighing the pros and cons of just taking the bigger car Arguably there is nothing like a convertible ride on a beautiful summer afternoon...going to be a hard call.

I also have an ISC as well as an 07RX. If you are going to take a road trip and be in the car for several hours or more, the RX is my car of choice. When I suggest to the wife that we take the IS, she always no just like me.

We just did a 2900 mile road trip in our ISC. We did a 3500 mile road trip in our Ariel Atom last year. Compared to that, our ISC is like our LS600hL.

Sports car road trips are the best.
