If it is necessary to place the load on the roof, place a blanket or other protective layer between the load and the roof surface.

Do not use ratcheting mechanisms with the tie loops. Check the straps and thumb wheels frequently to be sure that the load remains securely attached.

This is especially true on large flat loads and may result in damage to the cargo or your vehicle.
