Thule sells (at least they used to) "short roof line adapters" basically it adds a set of bars running from front to back so that the rear rack can be placed close to the back of the roof. They worked great on a friends 2 door honda accord. I'm not a fan of foam blocks. I spend too much time car topping boats. I want the rack to stay on the car, and the stuff to stay on the rack, through whatever minor disasters I encounter. Just think of the imagery of your nice homebuilt kayak lifting off and seeing it in the rear view mirror as you cruise down the highway. *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net Website: http://www.paddlewise.net/ ***************************************************************************Received on Tue Aug 24 1999 - 05:56:33 PDT
