Has anyone some good way for fixing a large canoe on top of s type ?

 

Specialist roof bars / rack?

As a one time emergency I carried a kayak on top of my previous 03 S-Type. I placed it keel up with foam pipe insulation front and aft to protect the roof. I positioned the foam close to the sun roof where the roof structure was stronger. I used thin straps through the open doors and closed the doors after snug. It was a small tandem and I did not use a line off the bow out of concern for the paint . It would seem that a stern line would work though. I would be cautious with a canoe due to the higher weight and greater surface area to risk it moving around under speed. Good luck

Thanks fellas, A tricky bit there.. po po those racks are no more.

 

Open the trunk (boot), remove the reinforcing framing from the rear seats, drop the rear seats and add a lot of tie downs(?).

Or buy a vehicle that was meant to haul a canoe(!).

 

I'd invest in a Class 2 hitch and a small trailer. Then you don't run any risk buggering something up while loading/unloading/hauling something.

 

Google is your friend

Let me google that for you

 

Thanks again po po, Thule the go to rack system dealer has them no more, It looks like I may have to weld something up there

 

Or duct tape?????

 

My 99 Suburban works great for this.
