Hello and Welcome :D

75Kg in the maximum weight the roof rails can be loaded too, split equally across them so 37.5Kg per rail.

Hi and  welcome5
Have looked at these roof bags on Ebay as I hadn't seen one before and am amazed that they don't advise on weight capacity, the centre section of the roof will be most vulnerable to dents if your thinking of loading heavy suitcases.

Mirez has said 75kg max but that is resting on the rails not the roof.

I would suggest if two people can lift the fully loaded evenly distributed bag onto the car without struggling that would be your limit.

I would probably stick with the 75kg as a limit on the roof in general.  I put my awning in a roofbox which is a little over that weight and it does affect its drivability.
