You can always get some Thule roof-rack ski straps.

I use that in the day between houses and have a rack inside the van for overnight,

I have fitted a ratchet strap accross the rear of the van to hold the brush end, then I have screwed a couple of downpipe brackets to the roof at the front by the interior light, just be careful that they don't go to far forward and crack the windscreen.

That's a good idea, I might do something like that. Mine just go under passenger headrest at the mo.


PS: I love the picture on your website; it looks as though the guy cleaning is watching TV through the window  ;D  ;)

Dont reckon son would be too impressed if I shoved pole through head rest whilst he was sitting there but might wake him up a bit

Daz.

i have escort van.

I have ladder on roof rack held on with ladder hooks.

My wf- pole is sandwiched  inbetween ladder and end bars on roof rack sits nice and snug.

I have 2 stretchy loops with hooks that thread throw ladder round pole and hook onto themselves.  (hooked loops bq)
