Brian,

I am curious what you mean by "posing risks of damage to the car" and
"are not especially secure". I am not going on the offense on this, I
just wonder if you could expand a little.

I have foam blocks I use on my standard roof rack on a Voyager and it
is very secure, solid as a rock, and does absolutely no damage to the
vehicle. Did you mean the blocks that sit right on top of the roof
with tie-downs that go through window? Just curious. Thanks.
