First weak spot
May 01, 2010, 01:48:06
As a kayaker I always use bow and stern tie downs. On my Elantra Touring, there's a nifty ring underneath in the front but no place in the back of the car to run a line to. I ended up tying to roof rails but it's not ideal. Any suggestions?
Thanks for any help,

Lyn on the rear there is a plastic cap in the bumper bar that when you remove it you can screw the tow hook that's stored in the spare wheel area.
i hope that works.
2009 manual sx hatch and 2009 automatic sx cw. both 2.0 petrol.

Indeed, the tow loop when screwed in works great as a tie-down. Just make sure you push the painted cap inside the bumper before screwing in, so it doesn't blow about.
I drove 400 miles a few weeks ago with one side of my (3 bike) mount tied to it.
You can tighten it using the wheel spanner.
