Canoe tie-down on 06 Sienna

[Richard E]

Does anyone have a suggestion for me for tying down canoes and kayaks to the front and rear of an 06 Sienna? My 00 Sienna had 2 solid tie-downs front and back.
We put one up on the hoist, and the 06 has 2 smaller tie-downs on the rear, but nothing up front.

I often carry 2 canoes or 3-4 kayaks.
TIA from a soon-to-be 06 owner.

Maybe I was too specific. Anybody have any tips on tying boats on to any of the latest version Sienna, 04-06?

You may want to check out these "Top Ties" which are great for providing a tie-down point in the front of your van.

Thanks! I actually read about these on the Siennaclub.org forum and made up a set myself, which work just fine for one boat. I got some custom, removable tie-down eyes made up that protrude from the fog lamp holes for when I have multipe boats on top.
