tarp (attaching it to roof rails)
Hi, for those sunny (or rainny) days next week in the UK, i would like to attach a tarp to the D3 as the beer tent is sometime too crowded
tarp has eylets so could be attache to D3, though, i would like to know if anyone has done himself a little kit to attache things to roof rails (sans roof rack or cross bars of course)
I am thinking about a "T" shapes (upside down) piece that would slide in the rail with an eyelt too or something to tie something to it

I use these
They fit in the roof rails ..not a very tight fit ..but once there , they wont pull out ..you have to put them in the enlarged holes in the rails ..then slide them down .
Got them from Billing a few years ago ...very handy to keep 4 in the car ...even used as an emergency roof rack once
Im sure they were less than a pound eachG4 Gone ...but not forgotten

Wiggs, you rock
I was looking for something exactly like those, but could not even dream they would fit !
do you reckon that a bit of modification with a smooth file would make them happier up there as far as sliding back and forth ?
another few bits on my Billing shopping listl=Oo\________/oO=l l:Ool======loO:l
