Roof-rack roller

I use a lot of ladders and planks on my carpentry rounds. To help get them on and off the roof of my van, I slipped a 30-in long section of 2-in dia. PVC pipe over the rack's rear crossbar. Now the loads slide easily onto the rack, and with the roller on only the rear rack, I can leave the width adjuster on the front rack.
