Default JK roof rack mount location

Wy guys we are a couple of fabricators and got to thinkin it would be great to build a couple roof racks for our 2009 JKU and our 2011 JK nut camt seem to figure out where yhe factory roof racks would mount to tge Jeeps themselves? Anyone have a Roof rack that would be willing to let me know how they mount to the trucks?

Most mount to the windshield frame in the front and have brackets in the rear. I went with a Congo cage and modified an old rover rack. I planned on fabbing my whole cage and rack, but the price of the Congo cage ($350) justified buying vs. building for me....
