Ok guys sorry, I haven't posted in awhile, been in CA at Tokyo Prep Camp. I leave 22AUG, so I will post race dates & times when it gets closer. In the meantime, you can help support me and my Paralympic journey, by grabbing a Tshirt, from the TEAMUSASHOP:

+1. I also usually use a bungee to hold the glass against the load gently to prevent the possibility of it slamming into it from a higher position along the way. I also drive with all 4 windows down to ensure good airflow and minimize exhaust intrusion.
That was going to be my next question, if I should bungy the window down to the load. I won't be doing any highway driving, maybe 35mph max.

At 35mph max, you should be ok to leave it up if the road is smooth. Otherwise, bungee it down. Wrap a towel or blanket around the lumber so it protects the hatch opening and gives the edge of the glass something soft to rest against. Be careful to not do anything that'd make the load bounce (railroad tracks, etc.)

the hatch glass needs to be secured I have seen people hit a bump and smash, glass shattered. best to put it up on the roof if it's not more than 200lbs
or just buy a truck....:secret:

Just did some measuring and I should be OK and fit it all inside.

I'm picking up some 8' long fence panels and with the 2nd and 3rd row seat backs folded down I have 8'6" from the back of the front seats to the rear lift gate.
Love the extra length of the XL

I don't need a truck, for bigger loads I'll just use my 18' tandem axle car hauler trailer. I was just hoping to save myself the trouble of hooking it up and getting it from behind the garage
