So, I have a cargo rack on my 4Runner that includes a locking shovel/axe carrier.

The lock keyway does have a cover but I would still like to find something that will stretch over the knob to keep water/ice out...

Any ideas...?

fashion a fabric cover with velco, like a crossbar pad cover on a dirtbike.  

Keep a can of lock deicer handy.  Keep a towel handy and diaper the knob so you're not blowing that crap all over if you have to use it.

One of guys I know uses small drawstring neoprene bags over the knobs on his rack.  I think he made them himself but you could probably find them on someplace like Etsy.

Seems like some of these protective end caps would work, if yiu get the right diameter.

Thank you for all the great ideas.....

Before I get into fabricating something, I like the neoprene draw string bag idea, I'm going to try Stasher1's idea..

I may add a small bungee retainer...
