How are Kayak Bow and Stern Tie-Down Straps Used?
Question:
I got these with my hullavator. How do I use them? It is on a 2018 Volvo T6 xc60.

Expert Reply:
Those are bow and stern tie-down straps. They are necessary for tying your kayak down so it doesn't fly off your vehicle's roof. Tie-down straps like these are required in order to transport a kayak and come with many Thule products, including the Hullavator # TH898.
I have added a link to a video showing you exactly how they work so you can keep your kayak safely secured to your Volvo.
