I am a WFP person through and through but like all Window Cleaners there are times when I have to get my ladder off of the rack.
I used to have the proper ladder clamps that span around as I wanted to look smart but presently I use the elastic bungee's and permenantly tie one end to my roof rack and quickly wrap them through the ladder as tightly as I can as it is the quickest method I can find.
My question is this - what is the quickest way or best way to secure ladders to the roofrack?
Is there a quick tie method or has someone invented a clamp?
I ask because whilst bungees are quick they occassionally spring off and damage the paintwork and are not always safe if one slips and yesterday one snapped whilst I was driving and the front end of my ladder was doing a dance on my roof!
