My suggestion:

1. save yourself the work and money
2. maintain the integrity of the roof surface and headliner
3. get the cool look of sport racks that actually function by carrying a multitude of objects...

...by getting a THULE rack system. $150 gets you going with towers and bars. Then you can add on cool stuff like surfboard carriers, bicycle carriers, a cargo box, a cargo cage, etc, etc, etc. They are Swedish and can come off easily when you're tired of them. They lock right onto the rain gutters perfectly. These were the racks you could add on as a dealer option when the car was new. I love mine - I've got them on all the time. They certainly looks sporty and are completely functional.

Just my opinion...don't work for Thule or anything.
