Since we only haves rain gutters over the rear doors, & none above the rear windows, I'm wondering how others have addressed the roof rack mounting.
I've seen a few brands of racks that mount on the gutters at the front & behind the rear glass hinges at the rear, but I have a nice pair of gutter-mount cross bars that I'd like to be able to use.
The problem I see is that I can't get them spread far enough apart on the existing rain gutters to provide a stable base.
Has anyone here drilled holes through the top to add 'artificial rain gutters' such as these:

Or any other approaches that I might have overlooked?
Not looking to add a full roof rack or carry a ton of gear, but having the ability to secure fishing rods, a ladder, or some lumber would be a big help.
