I have a new Cervini Cowl hood sitting here that I somehow have to transport 6 hours north to where my car is. The car will be transported back down here to my new residence once I have the hood and wheels on and the motor is back together.

The problem is all I have to transport it with is a 97 Malibu. My Rangers tags aren't any good and it needs tires and a few other things.


I trial fitted the hood on the roof today with a blanket underneath. It fit the curve of the roof pretty good. My plan is to use several rachet tie downs with towels under the parts that contact the hood. Thse will be ran in the back windows and connected inside. I am also going to use one tiedown tied to the hood latch part. I though pulling it down would help keep the wind from lifting it. I 've already bubble wrapped and taped the corners.

I know all this sounds crazy. I have not alternative and money to do it any other way. I just wanted to know if anyone has done it sucessfully?

The guy who bought my old hood tied his to the top of a Explorer and didn't seem to have problem that way. He was lucky that he had racks up there though.

Any tips or suggestions would be welcome.

 

i just had it drop shipped to the house, but , your way sounds like it will work , just make sure its tired down in a few ways so it wont fall off.
