Question:
I have a JDM kei van with a high roof but no rails There is a rain gutter only on rear window I am trying to solve for universal cross bars but having trouble figuring out right attachment for front bar as it need to clamp to roof and door frame versus gutter. Is it possible to get support to figure this out?

Hey Nick. The only option I have for your JDM kei van is going to be the SeaSucker Monkey Bars Roof Rack item # 298-SX6000B. These 48" long round bars have a 150 lbs. They attach to the roof of your van with heavy duty suction cups like you see glass glazers use to install large panes of glass. They attach to metal, glass, or fiberglass.
What are you going to be using your roof rack for?
