Many times folks run the tie-downs to the outsides of their roof rack towers instead of under the bars directly beneath the kayak, this allows the boats to slide left and right under the strap. If the strap is slipping through the cam, usually a simple overhand know is enough to stop it from moving. Maybe you have a defective cam?

Any tips on what kind of knots to use to prevent the cam buckle tie downs from slipping? I’ve got an X-Factor that seems intent on moving around during long trips and I think the proper knots might make the difference.
