Hello! We've had this discussion before on the list so you may be able to find more info in the archieves. One solution is to tie down under the hood and trunk. You can get some webbing and either bolt or tie it to something solid under the hood and trunk, then just run the tie-downs through that. With all the discussion of Yakima racks, it's interesting to note that they are a distinctly North American convienince. Here in Holland, the typical rack seems to consist of nothing more than some scraps of tin and garden hose that might survive impact with a small bird or large insect, definately not a Grand Cherokee. Well, at least they're cheap. -Patrick At Monday, 22 April 2002, Heike_Robinson_at_lakeland.cc.oh.us wrote: >This accident makes me very worried about my brand-new Yakima roofrack.
