Tie-downs
I did a quick search and didn't see anything... sorry if I missed anything obvious.
I carry sea kayaks on the roof. And I don't like being on the highway without front and rear tie-downs.
But the sales guy could only suggest the two screw-in hooks that the car comes with for use on the flat-beds, which doesn't really do the job for me. For one thing, they are on opposite sides of the car: the front one is on the driver's side and the rear is on the passenger side, so that the tie-downs, when pulled taut, will tend to pull the kayaks at a diagonal to the car. Not good to highway speeds!
Does anyone out there put anything like a sea kayak, canoe, or maybe a racing scull on their roof and use front and rear tie-downs? If so, where do you connect the tie-downs to the car?
This could be a deal breaker for me if there isn't anything except the two points -- one front and one rear -- that I can use.
If I get this point sorted out, it's down to arranging financing and I'm ready to sign the paperwork.
TIA,
