After a number of deaths and a house move in the family, im getting sick of hiring MWB tranny's and clearing houses.
Its not a money issue as they only cost £45 for 24 hours, its just the hassle of licence checks, bring it back by xx:xx so we can check it Etc.
So today I decided to have a crack at putting part of a L shaped Leather sofa in the back of my Mk2 Berlingo and surprisingly it fit, Just! It measured 70 inches in length and cleared the door and passenger seat (All the way forward and upright) with about 4 inch spare.
Now thats got me thinking, Second bit is 84 inches in length, those 10 inches are going to need to poke out so whats the best way to tie the hatch shut?
On my Toyota I would just chuck a bit of rope over the wiper and tie to the catch loop, My Berlingo has the opening window and the wiper arm is not the strongest and the boot hatch is rather heavy so don't fancy doing that.
Is the pull down strap on the inside strong enough to tie the door down to one of the tie points?
My only other Idea was to use one of my ratchets and put it through the open window then loop down under the the hatch and back to the tie point and tighten gently but Im worried this will scratch the paint or wreck the window seal.
Anyone got experience Tying 10 inches in?
