It wasnt actually attached to the car in any way. At least the frame wasn't. The sheeting was because I didnt want it to parachute, but we simply connected it with clear tape.

The frame itself is attached by pinching the pipe ends in teh vice, creating a flat point, and stick it into wedges and bending the tips slightly. When building it, I made the pipes under tension to help give it a clamping effect.

The whole thing held onto the back of the car like a giant alligator clip. Looking for a basket hitch right now.
