Xmas tree transport with RDX
I'm thinking about buying a live tree this year. This will be my first time transporting a live tree. Has anyone done it with their RDX? How did you secure it? Would a roof roof rack be helpful? Was there any damage to your vehicle?
thanks!
thanks!

Yes and yes. Branches will scrape the hell out of your roof. You can always use painter's tape to protect your paint.

Only if it is tied down with that tight net thing. Otherwise look for holes in the headliner, floor carpet and and scratches on the trim not to mention spines and dust everywhere.
Plastic tree ftw? Lol

yes plastic FTW but it has been my experience that trees are tied up so that they do not obstruct your view when on top of car... on a side note bottom end in first :p

LOL @ just get a trailer.....what about the wiring? Most places will bag it or put a net around it for you. Then just roll it up in a big blanket and tie it on the roof.

A blanket will not put scratches on your paint. This isn't some $200k Range Rover Autobiography lol...it's just a car. I've hauled plenty of Christmas trees on top of my cars. I put a thin blanket down and then rope down the tree with the roof rails, have never gotten a single scratch or harmed the car from this.

Let's just agree to disagree guys...on a semi related note, I was looking at the prices of some fake christmas trees at lowes and holy cow $399-$699+...wow is that for real?
