Yvan Cloutier cloy808@comnet.ca I use foam blocks that I bought at Wal-Mart for my canoe on my 85 GL. These things work just fine and haven't damaged my top at all. They only cost about $20.00 U.S. as I remember. I also use nylon webbed straps running over the canoe and through the Vanagon as well as ropes on bow and stern of said canoe to keep it on the top of the Vanagon at highway speeds. Now if I can find a way to keep the straps from vibrating in the wind I will be a happy person - the loud humming from the straps can be a little distracting. Doug |
