Home built roof rack
I'll share this in case folks are looking for alternative ideas and have access to the special fabrication equipment to make it happen. I helped a friend of mine some in building one for his wife's Jeep (which means he did the work while I took pictures, LOL). He wanted one that followed the curved lines of the Jeep body. It took a special tubing bender, but the finished product came out really nice.
The tubing bender ...

That windsheild frame is not a straight line ...

Yes, some of the curves on a Jeep are this much ...





The finished project ...
