Hi, guys

I need your recommendation.
I have 2007 Rav4 Limited with factory roof rack with crossbar.
I've been carrying surf board inside of the car (back seat folded).
And I need to find the right roof rack crossbar pads to carry my board on the roof.
I just bought 20" Yakima crossbar pads
(Amazon.com: Yakima Crossbar Pads: Automotive)

I love the look and everything, but just found out it's too small for my roof rack crossbar (crossbar is too wide).
It doesn't wrap around all the way around.
Does anyone have pads recommendations for factory crossbar.
I am looking for around 18" to 24" pads.

Please let me know.

Thanks!

I spent years lifting weights and did a lot of squatting. There was a ballistic nylon pad that you could wrap around a free weight bar and it had a Velcro flap to lock it in place, and this was so when you did squats the bar didn't hurt your neck. These were about three feet long and very heavy duty, you might try one of those.

I realize this thread might be dead, but hey, it came up in a Google search. I found something cool on etsy that might be of interest to future searchers. Look up product Item# 459566420, "Roof Rack Pads Toyota ,TRD ,Off Road ...more" from ProTshirts (sorry, I'm prevented from posting links because I am new to the forum).
