well TDF,
after seeing that price
it made my head spin a full revolution LOL

When my brother and i were working in MIAMI
doing some construction ...revamping a lawyers office
down there....We had no truck

just a pontiac firebird
so we took a piece of 2x6 and then took a cardboard template
of the SLOPE of the roof -> on each side of the cars roof
and transferred the line to the 2x6 fairly accurately

after cutting it as close as possible to match the roof's shape
we next SCRIBED the roof on to that same piece making it
A PERFECT FIT

we connected the front and back pieces with some pt lumber that sat
on the roof snug after it and the cross pieces had soft material glued
to the "wood meets car surfaces" so the RACK sat on the vehicle like
you'd sit in a saddle on a horse.... in other words custom made to fit...

laugh if ya want, but we carried full loads of studs and sheetrock on that thing
more than i've ever loaded in a pickup and it weighed over 1000 lbs easy.
man did we ever get some LOOKS...
you could make one to carry a 150 lb KAYAK .... is all i'm saying
