I just bought a Thule roof-rack system for my 2014 2.0 Escape.

Now I ma just wondering where the best places to tie down would be to the front and back as I do not see any tow rings to attach to. just lots of plastic underneath.

Any help would be wonderful!

Just purchased a canoe myself and when securing to the roof rack of my Escape realized that the Escape front end sucks for tie downs. Lots of splash shielding under the front end with no access points for a tie down.

Does anyone have further feedback on the use of quick loop tie downs or another solution to secure the front of a canoe on the Escape?

Also you could get a bull bar and tie to that.

My dad made a front tie down with some angle iron and a post for the old 2005 escape. I was curious if that would bolt to the new escape with some modifying.

Bull bar, hood hoops and that tow hook are good options! I saved the tow hook from my mazdaspeed 3, I should see if it fits.....
