Should I be worried about it? Feels weird to have nothing but the glass on the roof and nothing obvious to tie/mount to. The place we like to go for trees is kind of far from our home so we need to drive with it for a while. I assume we can get help tying it down through the windows… just curious if anyone has done it yet?

I would recommend foam blocks, I haven't tied a tree down, but I have tied down this:

I saw a Mach E with a tree on a Seasucker roof rack yesterday.

Gotta ask. What kind of contraption is that? Looks like a kayak and a sculling boat had a foursome with a paddle board and windsurfing board.

It's a SurfSki kayak, 19' x 18.9" wide, fast and a wee bit tippy.

Are you happy with your SUV or would you prefer it to be a convertible?

Leave the kids at home, fold down the seats and put it inside the back if you don’t have a friend with a truck.

OK, OK. I’ll tie it on to the Prius instead.

Wow, even a worse idea than the roof...
