    Roof straps question

    We have a couple of kayaks. On our old petrol estate, we could find hooks in the chassis (front and rear) for the tie down straps. We haven't found suitable points for front and rear tie down strap hooks on the mg5 yet. Has anyone else found good spots to put the hooks?
