Default Winch loading a C7

Hello all. Our 2014 C7 broke a valve spring (#3) and I need to take her to the shop next week. I have a 17’ Feather Lite car hauling trailer with a 10,000# winch so I have the tools to deliver it but I haven’t first clue how to properly connect to the car so as not to cause damage. What would be the BEST strap to use and where on the car do you loop it/attach it?

anyone willing to offer any wisdom?

Jim

Cross strap 2 inch tie down straps from the corners of your trailer. The tie down straps should have snap hooks, attach them to T Hooks and place the T Hooks into the 4 shipping slots under the car. See your other post about pulling car on trailer.
