Use a tie down that wraps around the item and the rails.

What types of tie downs work best. With the third option crossbars with side rails you can secure an item to the side rails and run tie downs from front to back securing them to the crossbars. In the case of a naked roof you should be looping the rope through the car through the doors not the windows and around the object on the roof and a towel or blanket should be used to protect the roof of your car from the object. If you plan to install a camera on your roof or install a dish on a shingled roof surface you may need to use nails which create holes in an otherwise waterproof surface exposing the entire structure to moisture problems.

While this might work in some situations unless you keep the shingle flat against the roof and ensure the nails are at the correct depth there may not be enough support to hold the weight of your item. A professional will attach your shade sail to your roof at the soffit under the lower structural edge where it is safe.
