Trooper roof rack

Hi all
I seem to ask a lot of questions.
Does anyone have any ideas on carrying surf boards on a trooper. In the 70s 80s I had some gutter straps that I put on my Ford escort (great days) but I can't find them anymore.
Maybe some one knows of a system that works with pop tops.
Cheers Simon

Hi Simon

I presume you dont want to drills holes in your pop top to put a roof rack on like they have on Mazda Bongos.
A solution might be to put a bike rack on like this

I've sometimes carried our awning on our bike rack so I suppose there would be someway to keep your board secure on there.

Jut a thought
