I have a Thule Escape 2...it's one of those happy little soft cargo bags for your roof.
My new car, a 2010 Honda Fit Sport does not have a roof rack.
Yes, I can spend a couple of hundred and get one, I know...I use this bag once or twice a year.
If I have the screw in tow hooks, one in the front bumper, off to one side, and one in the rear, OPPOSITE side, could I do this:
Take a piece of lumber, like a 2x4, put eye hooks at either end, put the on the bag, one in the front and one in the rear in the "roof rack" slots on the bag, and then strap it to the car that way? The "straight" line tension would be a diagonal across the car, and the other straps to keep it from sliding off the sides?
What say ye?
