vehicle that is longer or wider than the luggage
carrier
-- like paneling, plywood, a mattress, and
so forth -- the wind can catch it as you drive
along. This can cause you to lose control. What
you are carrying could be violently torn
off, and
this could cause you or other drivers to have a
collision, and
of course damage your vehicle. You
may be able to carry something like this inside.
But, never carry something longer or wider than
the luggage carrier on top
of your vehicle.
The luggage carrier has slats, side rails and crossrails
attached
to the roof to secure cargo. The moveable tie
downs: attached

secure loads to the luggage carrier.
Use
GM accessory racks that are compatible with your
luggage carrier for transporting sports equipment.
These are available through your
GM dealer.
