Drywall and Plywood Cartop Carrier / Roof Rack

Step 2Cut and Wrap the Feet

Cut and Wrap the Feet
Cut four 2x4 pieces to about 6 inches in length
These will be the feet that rest on the roof of your car. To prevent them from scratching the paint, and to provide a little more friction than bare wood. We'll wrap them in some padding. I used some closed cell foam sleepingbag pad.
Cut four pieces of padding to about 6 1/2 by 6 1/2 inches
Using a staple gun or tacks (roofing nails have nice big heads too) fasten the padding one the EDGE of the 2x4's so that your staples/tacks/nails to not come into contact with the roof of the car.
