@ShawnM Nothing is necessary, but it helps keep the front end down during highway speed winds with longer items such as my kayak. I do have concerns with the rope rubbing against the paint on the hood. I may look into adding eye hooks to the hood instead of running the tie downs all the way around and under the front end.
