Awwww...no worries man! She's on and I just got some straps at WRV to tie the log on with and my 6'4" epoxy quad. As long as you have a padded bag, which anyone that transports a board should have, you don't need the noisy silly looking surfboard adapter. I mean heck, it's a guitar string mounted onto the rack that will whistle and whine like some dreaded prehistoric mosquito!!!! You also don't need those ridiculous bulbous foam cushions that advertise your local surf shop either! THe padded bag does the job just fine and those things really make the look of the car look hideous! THe basic straps wrap over and under the rack and secure just fine. The loose strap material is bungied with micro bungies kind of like the ones women use to tie their hair back. I just bungied them to the straps that were secured onto the roof rack. I put some touch up paint onto the area that got scracthed (only one place thank goodness). I highly recommend putting the blue tape onto the surface of the roof where the rack is going to meet before mounting so that if she slips, and she will, you won't muck up the paint like I did! So much for the dummies guide to mounting your OEM rack onto your clubman.
