Go over to the opposite side of the vehicle and snatch the last detail of the lash. Circle the tie underneath the crossbar to within where it joins to the vehicle. This keeps the tie from slipping off the finish of the crossbar while driving.
Now head over to the main site again and snatch the rest of the lash. Circle it around the crossbar, indeed keeping it to within where it connects to the vehicle. Carry it into the cam buckle, and tighten the lash down.
Do this same process with the same ties with another cam buckle tie on the other crossbar. Once the two ties are set up, fix the two. Make certain not to over tighten them, however, an excess of strain will disfigure the plastic bodies on your kayak or possibly break a fiberglass kayak.
The kayak should now be secure. Check to guarantee they are determinedly secured to the highest point of your auto by getting each finish of the kayak and shaking it. You will have a smidgen of development, yet there shouldn't be excessive.
