    These should be arriving today.

    50" Carbon Steel Roof Rack Cargo Load Bars https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0052XTSS0/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_tai_7vxvxbXCY1D12

    I noticed some of the options posted earlier in this thread were now out of stock on Amazon. I guess other people realized they were good deals, too. :)

    I'm pairing it up with an inexpensive Highland rack, $89 on Amazon. So, hopefully, I'll have a workable roof cargo option for about $150 total. We'll see how durable it is.

    Bars and basket arrived today.
    Installation was pretty straight forward.
    Clearance for the MySky sunroof wasn't a problem, but I was pleased to see that I could also remove the rear panel (following the path of the front panel forward) as long as I moved carefully. It takes a bit of finagling to get it over the center crossbar, but it works.

    Hard to see from this angle, but I have the rack centered over the rear doors. With just the front MySky panel open you can't see the rack at all.

    I also have these crossbars. I agree, a little noisy, but I like them.

    I just put a bid on a pair of used Yakima S53 cross bars. I’m hoping they will fit... I have had the Reese ones for over a year but the screws rusted and stripped real fast. Plus it is very loud. I have the Reese cargo rack as well, it gets the job done for being a Walmart rack. IMG_2137.JPG

    Do you have any other pictures of your rail and rack set up? Looks good so far. Just want to see a side shot if possible.
    Thanks.

    I have a set of Thule Aerobars you can have for $120 shipped. With the roof rail connectors. They work great but I got a set of the Aeroblade Edges instead. The only caveat is that I sanded them down and painted them black with Chassis/Rollbar paint. They'd have looked nice if I wasn't too heavy-handed. So if you're willing to sand and paint them again you'll have a nice set of good crossbars.

    I bought these ones as well, really liked the price but I don’t think they fit...are you sure they are the s46? They seem to be very short
