Roof rack tiedowns (1 Viewer)

bungees and elastic nets are not safe enough IMO. I use only strong ratchet straps. You really do not want to lose something on a public road. I also would only use a rack with raised sides so there is a barrier in case things slide around, and especially so in the front. It can be surprising how much things that you thought secure can move if subjected to enough bumps and vibration, and something that appears "stuck in place, wedged, etc" can sometime become very loose with only minor movement.

Totally agree, elastic stuff is too weak and non-lasting!
