Has any one tried this or knows of some one using this? any opinions?

Trying to figure out and put a rod rack with rollers or something simular.

Harbor Freight tools sells similar suction thingies..

Here is one idea using them, this could be modified to have actual wheels mounted to it like the one advertised. (You can also find wheels at Harbor Freight on the cheap) Actually if you read through the thread at this link, you will see some mods including one with wheels..

I have a 1997 Accord just like the guy who made his own roller. I use a thick wool blanket over the trunk and glass. The kayak slides right up onto my roof rack. Of course, my trunk lid looks like I was in a hale storm but its a 97 with 265k miles. :biggrinjester:
