Tie down boot
« on: 05 December 2023, 13:41 »
I need to carry a few boards in my car that are around 70cmx180cm which means I'll have to have the boot open. Just wondering whether anybody else has had to tie down the boot and what they used. I can see the two loops on either side of the boot but don't know what I can loop through on the boot lid, itself?
