i just ont see how and why? for a start they are way to heavy for most cars roofs,, which are only rated to carry 50 kgs, 2 people could weigh around 200 kgs! a roof tent is many times heavier than that before you even climbed into it, best way of not being able to shut yours doors properly that i can see.
A 50kg rating will be a dynamic limit i.e. the maximum approved load given you'd be going round corners, doing 70mph on a motorway etc. The static limit - which is what's relevant for a roof tent - will be significantly more than that. Indeed I'd expect a car roof to be able to take the weight of the entire car in order to provide protection in a rollover situation.
