I have made up two lengths of stainless steel wire each with a loop
large enough to go around the bow and the stern each about one fifth
the way towards the cockpit area.  The ends also have a small loop
about three inches. Boat Owners Wharehouse let me use their
nicro-press. After kayak is placed on roof of car, large loops encircle
each end of kayak. Small loops are lead through forward and back window
and locked with padlock, using the vertical piece located between front
and back seats for strength. Then close wondows. This has worked for me
for several years.
