I just got a Sienna minivan and when I save up some money for gas I
hope to carry my Old Town Pack ( 12 foot - 33 Lb ) canoe to the lake.
I am looking for brackets that will mount on the rails to keep the
canoe from sliding side to side. The rail shape is NOT round or square,
it's () , turn 90 Deg. Toyota parts said that they don't have any
accessories for these rails.

Another problem is the front tie down! They don't have a bummper up
front. Only plastic parts, that would bend if I tried to wrap a rope
over them to get to the underside. So I plan on two wide side to side
straps around the middle of the canoe to the roof rack, two short
straps from the rear of the canoe to the roof rack, to keep it from
sliding back, and maybe a tie from the back to the tow bar reciver.

Any ideas ?
