Very true! I love trying to work things out on my own before buying a solution. Cheaper and more satisfying. Hopefully my buddy's wife is not too mad at him for giving away her garden kneeling pad LOL.
I love that the simplest on the fly "maybe this DIY solution will work," becomes the go to way to make this happen. I didn't think this solution would be so long lasting when we were searching for random foam in my garage, but damn if it doesn't seem like the perfect way to address the problem, and still motoring on.
Have you considered a magnetic mount for the mini...would save you the trouble of strapping it down. I use one on the roof of my Suburban and it holds extremely well. Securing it to your rack wouldn't be a problem.
Simple DIY solutions are the best. Usually beats the mass produced items. The added satisfaction of a DIY one off solution is awesome too.

yep I figured for sure I would have some fancy mount by now. this thing works like a champ though, so thinking it is here to stay.
I just got the rack from Amazon. I hope to give this a try next week.
Awesome can’t wait to hear how it works out!

That's a good idea! My rack is aluminum unfortunately. I may look into ways to add metal to give it something to stick to.
