I'd be more inclined to go for something like this, https://boot-bag.com/language/enus/soft-car-carrier/
Anti scratch mat underneath it, waterproof and lees likely to cause damage.
Using soft luggage in the boot should be adequate though, I reckon I can get enough in for Lynn and I for two weeks abroad if we are doing fly/park from Manchester.

Abstinence is fine, in moderation.

Personally I would not put a rack on. Also, any other rack I've seen has the lip the other way round to prevent luggage moving forward towards the rear window in the event of heavy braking/accident etc.
What are our boot lids made of, will they support much weight?

That’s what I’ve got, no issues so far. Would be worried about the rack distorting the boot lid, especially since it’s not metal.Scubaregs wrote: ↑Mon Apr 18, 2022 4:27 pm I'd be more inclined to go for something like this, https://boot-bag.com/language/enus/soft-car-carrier/

I assume you should take the bag off the rack when you motor the roof to avoid straining the mechanism?

Don't have one for my ///MR but the one for the MX5 is simple and sturdy and no marks from a couple of uses. Don't think it is a Revo. Our son bought it, so not certain of the make. But similar.

I’ve pulled the trigger on the Revo version
Got a nice 70l bag in yellow to match.
Need to find some suitable straps now.
