I use a 2x4 with pvc screwed into one side. This is on the rear crossbar of cars roof rack. on the front bar of my roof rack I used two pieces of framing wood (1/4" x 3") anything small will work. I put foam around each piece of wood and covered the foam with an old shirt and staple gunned it into the wood. now you have a 2 x 4 with 4 pvc pipes and two foam covered (padded) pieces of wood. tie down the rear side with twine ( I use a few 1/2 hitches for a knot) . for the front just put the piece padded wood on top of your cars roof rack staple side down, and put other piece on top of the rod tips, and tie down with more 1/2 hitches.
You won't win a beauty contest, but this works for me.
