"Steve" wrote in message OK so the whip might be
the ticket for now, next up is making a plastic or
rubber standoff
to keep it from swinging around so much. I figure I'll hook that to the
luggage rack which
is right at the roof line and let it -whip- above that somewhat.

Any suggestions on what to use for the standoff, all things considered?

I forgot to add the 'standoff' will need to be around two feet long and
somewhat flexable/shock absorbing.
