Speaker 1: Today we're going to be taking a look at the Malone hood loops for the bow and stern tie downs, part number MPG322. Once you have your kayak installed, and everything strapped down to your roof rack, the next step is to attach your bow and stern tie down. If you don't have a place underneath the vehicle to actually hook the bow and stern tie down to, that's where the Malone hood loop comes into play. The way the hood loop works, is it has an eyelet on the inside here that it's going to attach to a point underneath your hood, secure it down, close the hood on it, and now you have a loop that your hook can go through for your bow and stern tie down. This is ideal for vehicles with classic bumpers, with no metal underneath to hood onto. This comes in a quantity of two straps.Now, we've been over some of the features of these loops, let's go ahead and show you they install.
Our first step is to open up our hood, and find a suitable mounting point for our loops. We're gonna go ahead and use this mounting point here. So we'll loosen that up, place on our loop, and tighten down that bolt. Once it's tightened down, now we can close up our hood. Now we have our attachment point.
And now we can attach the hook of our bow and stern tie down, and make our connection.

Received them in a timely manner. THANKS! I have not installed them yet but the eyelets seem to be big enough to fit a fender bolt under the hood. The strap loop seems to be of good material. Thanks etrailer.com! 872760

David - 08/13/2019They screw in under the hood and hold on tight so you can tie your canoe to them. I've tried straps instead of rope and that cuts through. 400741
