That's a good point to attach a snap hook for your fore & aft tie down lines. Here's what they look like:

My brother has a Grand Caravan that we haul two canoes on top of, and he uses these hooks. You can get them at Home Depot or Lowes in the hardware aisle by the rope & chains. I also use them on my full size van ti tie down the canoe. Despite these tie down points, we still tie down the canoes with 1" wide ratcheting tie down straps, which are available at the same places. I think I paid like $7.95 for a pair of them with 20' of strap.
Just a note if using straps of any sort, if you start to here a whistling sound the faster you drive, place a twist in the strap before securing it to the roof top carrier, and the noise will go away. A flat strap is like a reed in the wind, and will drive you batty...I know!
