solution for soft top cargo luggage bag on 2007 Jeep Compass rooftop
Unfortunately the side rails on your 2007 Jeep Compass are decorative only and are not compible with any setup for mounting a cargo/luggage carrier to your rooftop. However the following solution below is an excellent set up for your needs...
MULTI-PURPOSE ROOF BASE RACK SYSTEM
The Yakima Q Towers roof rack system will fit your Jeep Compass perfectly. The Yakima Q Tower system includes four Q Towers, a pair of Q99 Clips & a pair of Q34 Clips (this Q Clip combination is specific to your Jeep Compass) and two cross bars. You will then attach the cargo / luggage bag carrier directly to the Q Tower front and rear cross bars. The 58 inch cross bars are the recommended length for your Jeep Compass roof top. The Yakima Q Towers offer enough clearance for the crossbars to sit over top of your side rails and will not come in contact with them.
CARGO/LUGGAGE ROOF BAG
The Thule 630 Ranger roof bag is a superb option for your needs. This roof bag is all-weather resistant and attaches directly to the Yakima Q Towers base rack cross bars. An excellent feature of this bag is that it has a sturdy and firm base and also rides above your rooftop so all gear contents is fully protected and there is no danger of the roof bag or contents making contact with the rooftop. Offers a generous 12 cubic feet of cargo carrying space too.
