It honestly looks like any other car top carrier, and I think it probably cost him about $40 from Walmart. I helped him install it earlier this spring because he had one arm in a sling...couldn't see any damage to his roof from the mole skin rubbing on it.
Hmmm...you've got me thinking about some Wally World engineering!

I know I can get the straps with the door hooks, so I can probably come up with something.
