I've been using a water-proof rafting bag from REI (www.rei.com) for
several years now up top in my luggage rack. The nice thing is that
you can use it full size or roll it smaller as needed. Use it for tow
rope, jumper cables, chains in winter, flares, gas can--all that
stuff that no one's gonna steal in  most cases and that you don't
necessarily want crowding your interior.

They come in different colors, so you can match your exterior. :-)
