And don't forget the pictures.
I agree with this poster. The roof still has a slight 'hump', and the foam padding would at least keep rocking to a minimum. I would also suggest using some sort of microfiber cloth between the foam padding and the rooftop in order to prevent even the slightest bit of scouring of the roof.
Considering that I can cram a golden retriever in my passenger seat and a scotty and sheltie in the back, plus their beddings when I take them to the boarding kennel, I find no fault in using our cars to schlep all sorts of stuff around.
And ditto on the pics.
