The Outback Sport's rack had 2 little round holes that were perfect for this. Even my old '98 Forester had these handles at the front and back that worked as tie-downs.
In your case, I would tie a loop on one end, then go around the cross bar and pull the rope through the loop. It's self-tightening - the harder you pull, the tighter it gets.
Maybe some boy scouts here can offer more specific advice? I used bungees, as well, to take up any slack and things shifted.
