MLB Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 (edited) Does anyone make mounts that attach to the side rails like the cross rails do to give you an "eye" for mounting straps? There is nothing to strap to on this van! LOL Crazy to me to have a roof rack without the capability of tying the hauled object down!!!!!!!!! WTH?? I want the flush mount rails for non hauling times, but i need quick and easy tie down, so I 'may have to go with after market raised side rails.

JackGrimshaw Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 When I used to haul my sail boards,I would use 2 straps for each board on the cross bars if side by side or use 2 straps on stacked boards with a foam "wishbone" in between.You also need a stiff foam covering(think pipe insulation) on the cross bars. When strapping to roof rack systems,you want most of the force downward ,not outward,to eliminate any side to side movement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
