 For people using straps, twist the strap several times, this will create a 
spiral with much less strap flap.
 
 I think this point has been mentioned, be careful not to overtighten bow and 
stern lines.
 I use bow and stern lines for the canoes, but, not for the kayaks.
 I check my rack to vehicle connection very, very often.
 Sounds like the original poster's problem began as a rack to vehicle 
malfunction.
