[QUOTE="WestCoastDan, post: 450282, member: 23120"] 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: [URL]https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0989TZGMP/?tag=jkforum-20[/URL] 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. [/QUOTE]
