You can use a roof box as cover.

What is the difference between cover and concealment? Cover shields you from fire, concealment merely hides your position. Depending on what you put in it, the roof box is almost definitely concealment and not cover. In fact, only two places on a car can function as cover, the rest is barely even concealment...

Nobody WANTS a roof box! Some people NEED it, but they don't WANT it all the same...

Okay you're right, I need the roof rails for the bars for the box for all the bloody luggage the girls need.

Do stop it. It was bad enough trying to work out what it was called. I thought it would be something sensible like a boot cover, no that goes under everything, or a privacy screen, those are for the windows.

I used to have a 1985 Olds Delta 88... a boat of a car.
When I needed to transport a quantity of items, I purchased a roof box, drilled holes, attached securing points and put it on top of the car. No racks, just the car top.
I then used ratchet straps from the securing points; the straps when just between the doors and the roof.
Low cost and effective.

Long ago, when I'd commute now and then cross country, I bought a Sears "strap on" roof rack. Worked for a family of five for many years - best of all, removable when I didn't need it. Fit nicely atop a used Buick Century.
I hate permanent installations for transient needs.

So, June 10 or so I bought Acronis True Image with the intent of creating a full backup of my system before M$ decides to force Windows 10 down my gullet without permission. To no avail I tried repeatedly to make it work, and despite the excellent assistance from their tech support staff, nothing we did would generate a backup that would run 100% to completion. I kid you not, these guys actually spend many hours poking around my system, making and unmaking settings changes to try to make the product work. They definitely earn their paycheck, if one counts hours spent and not results accomplished.
In desperation, I bought a new SSD and installed it, then tried the Acronis tool to clone my HDD on the SSD - no joy. So I removed the HDD and did a fresh install of Windows 7 Pro on the SSD. That was July 2, and I've spent all that time trying to get Windows 10 to install. I finally got the upgrade to install by running it from a DVD burned from an iso download, with a working system about 3 PM today. That, despite having Microsoft tech support inside my machine poking around and checking stuff. None of what they tried solved the problem, so I plowed ahead with the DVD I made as a last resort. Tech Support lied to me, though, when I asked if the Mail program could import Outlook data from another drive. Nope - it can't be done. So all of my emails and contacts are gone forever. I hoped that Gmail would let me import the contacts, at least, but I can find no way to do so.
Happily, a friend had a copy of Office with 3 licenses, and only using one, so she let me install a copy and use one of her licenses. That gave me the ability to import from the old .pst file on the old drive, and I have most of my emails and all of my contact info restored. I noticed in the imported data, though, that a lot of contacts have been disappeared, and I'm wondering if they might be stashed somewhere in the old Archive.pst file? Does anyone know?
I'm guessing it will take me several weeks to re-install some of the apps I've lost in the process, and many will never be recovered, since I don't have the license keys available - I'm a lousy file clerk. Oh well, at least my system isn't totally crippled. Thanks a bunch, Microsoft, for your usual performance and quality.
On the bright side, I now have a 750 GB SSD to boot from - very quick - and 2x 2TB plus 1x 1.5TB HDDs to use for other things. I haven't yet tried to start up the USB external drives. Who knows what joys tomorrow may bring?
