In Response To: Seeking: Car top tie down options (Chris)


This way we drive 110 km/h from Heerenveen, The Netherlands to Berlin, Germany about 700 km.
No problems. We started without the front lines, only the straps but then the kayaks started to vibrate when we passed big trucs.
You cannot use straps with the metal wrenches, because you will compress and crack your hulls. (I did that once, lot of work for the repair.)
