Reddit reviews 2" x 6 ft. Polyethylene Pipe Insulation, 1/2" Wall

Here's my best suggestion: Take your passenger seat out, run it in through the trunk tail first. A 3 definitely has the interior length to do it, and since you're going alone you don't need the passengers seat.

As for scratching it with straps: Buy some pipe insulation. It's closed-cell foam tubing that can wrap around the straps and deform around the car. Use it under the board and on the straps where they contact the body panels. This will work great if you're only doing a week, but is in no way a long term solution.

> Ahh okay yes that makes sense, what do you usually use for insulation?

Foam pipe insulation works well, or a few wraps with Reflectix works well. Reflectix also looks really nice, taped up with foil HVAC tape.

Might I suggest using PVC pipe foam to cover that. https://www.amazon.com/ft-Polyethylene-Pipe-Insulation-Wall/dp/B007R7VNAA?th=1&psc=1

I made my canoe roof ready ( and much quieter in the water when I rest my kayak paddle) by gluing Pipe foam insulation from the hardware store onto the length of the canoes rim. It usually needs replacement once a year.

Another thing i did to facilitate tying the canoe to the car was to install small wire loops on the structural beams of the underside of my Hyundai front and back. I had fixed length ropes on the rear of the canoe with large clips on them that would clip to those loops, leaving only two tie downs with truckers knots on the front. I also usually used two ratchet straps through the open rear doors at the mdsection of the canoe also. ( don't cinch them too tight!)
