How are you all tying down the tent cover? The little bungee straps aren't making a lot of sense to me.

The yakima bars fit the mounts well widthwise- i see the same problem with space between the pin and bottom of the bar. I'm probably going to glue some rubber strips into the mounts to compensate, which should also add additional side to side resistance to the setup.

As for the cover, my tent has the 2 webbing buckle straps that go over the cover. The little elastic hooks just go around your thule crossbar and hook on to the same little bracket that the webbing straps attach to. I think the instructions come with a diagram of this but i've already tossed 'em.

Hope this helps.
