Bob here.
Thanks for all the help!

I got a set of Mighty Mounts 10V, 4 5/16 x 2" SS bolts, 8 SS washers, 4
Locking nuts, 4 1 1/2 rings. I put the rings in the center of the
mounts, bolt-washer-mount-ring-mount-washer-nut now I use a caribener
(sp) on one end of the line, run the other end through the ring on the
other side and use a trucker knot.
Bow line:
I put a gromets in a piece of webbing and use a nut and bolt in a
unused hole on the bracket under the hood.
Stern line:
Tied canoe to the trailer chain tiedown.

Any one wants to see pictures let me know.

Anyhow the first test of 65 mph it didn't fly off.

Thanks again
Bob

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 ?
