: This worked for me and lasted over 2,000 miles from Fresno, Calif. up to Port
: Townsend, Wa. for the R2K1 gathering and back. Only had to tighten one
: rope one time.

: I got the foam at a used foam shop, for around $15.00, instead of $100.00 +
: for new. I cut the bottom section to fit between the side rails on the car
: and that way it didn't slide, not that it would have anyway. They I spray
: glued the little pieces together on top and shaped them to fit inside the
: cockpit. That both locked it in place And kept the 70 mph wind out of the
: inside of the boat. Rode up there like a baby. Yeh, Yeh, Yeh, it's a
: little Okie-fied, but it's not $500 extra Kayak $$$'s either. Try it!!

I forgot to mention that we not only tied it on front and back, but around from one rack to the other, but if no racks, then Julie's idea will work with the straps. '
