I recently bought a 2011 Equinox, and after I got it, I realized that it doesn't have front or rear tow hooks. I plan to carry a 16-foot canoe or a 15-foot kayak on top, and I'll want to lash down the bow and stern of each boat. I have straps with S-hooks on the ends. On previous vehicles, I attached one S-hook to either the bow or stern of the boat, and the S-hook at the other end of the strap to a front or rear tow hook. In that way, the boat couldn't wobble up or down when the car was moving. But the Nox doesn't have tow hooks, so I don't have a way to secure the bow and stern. The dealer said they can add a rear tow hook, but they don't have a front tow hook that they can add.
Has anyone else had this problem? How did you solve it?
