Help
The black thingies loop around the bow and stern and that is what I hook the lines to. Do you know where I can find replacement thingies?? Or what they are called?? It's hard to look for something when you don't know what it is...
Much thanks,

So... Last weekend I went kayak-camping on Cape Island/Cape Porpoise, great fun aside from hitting Pease AFB traffic to and fro. When I came home I was very tired and not as methodical as I can be. I washed my boat and all my stuff (shoot, forgot to hose the car) and took the black thingies (straps?? tie-downs?? loops???) off of my kayak and put them on the roof of my car. Monday AM I drove blissfully, sleepily, to work, parked and went "oops". Black thingies were MIA.

Much thanks,
Katherine,
Based on your description, I believe you may be referring to the "Attachment Straps". I use a Thule Glide and Set and it uses attachment straps (2). The Thule part number is 853-5467. I have had good luck working with the staff at Eastern Mountain Sports. Perhaps if you call them they may be able to special order you the replacements.
I hope this is helpful,

I think that it will be easier to find climbing runners. The REI, EMS etc should have them in stock. I would guess that they will be less expensive being a stocked item and I know that they will be much stronger.
This would be an example of one: http://www.rei.com/product/755451
They have different lengths widths and colors to pick.. You can also just attach the bow and stern lines directly to the deck lines.

You can buy webbing by the foot (at any store that has climbing gear) and tie a loop with a water knot. This would be less expensive that buying one that is already sewn.
Or as Jason suggested... not even use them.
