i've done it the same way as mudbogger.As far as the cushions i got mine years ago i think from bass pro with a lit to grip the canoe and protect the roof
Saw a 4door tacoma the other day with a canoe on the roof with those things. Looked pretty slick. Granted I would probly loose one of them and have to figure out what the heck do I do with just one of the clamp things because if I buy a new one then I will find the one I lost and then I got three and im back at step one again
I'll stick with a rolled up towel, or just say screw it, im short an cant see the roof of the truck so it doesnt matter how scratched up it gets.
