: "and the kayak hold down straps added their own music"

: Putting a twist in the tie down strap should get rid of the strap music.

: Kim

I originally did put a twist in the straps and that helped quite abit but the garden hose was the real answer. And the tie down goes faster since the stiffness added by the hose allows the straps to be pushed under the rack and I walk on the other side of the car and throw the garden hose encased straps back over the car.
