Will the plywood lie parallel to the road, or to I need ailerons in case I go airborne?
Looking at some other TMC threads, I found some interesting pictures
showing that
the two roof rack bars seems to be horizontaly aligned:

- The stern of the kayak seems to be paralell to the side walk:

Loading Kayak Onto Roof Rack
I'm planning to get the Tesla crossbars and put on kayak mounting hardware. There are some that allow you to roll the kayak on from the rear: but I figure that would be useless because of the shape of the rear of the model 3. That is, I'd have to slide the kayak on the rear window. I think I...
