This rack (or Thule's similar one) is the best option I'm aware of for vehicles that don't come with a roof rack. A few things to keep in mind:
- You have to drill holes in your roof
- This part (the track) never comes off once you put it on
Pluses:
- Professional look
- Secure (strong)
- Package comes with drill bit & silicone sealant
- Flexible enough to conform to most roofs. I installed these on a Prius; if they fit that shape, they should fit most vehicles. I pre-bent the rails to reduce stress on the bolts.
- The expanding nuts (PlusNuts) are great; they go in easily and securely
Minuses
- No fit guides for current vehicles
- Many current vehicles have curtain airbags, so you'll want to peek under the headliner to find them & not drill into them. I didn't have to drop the headliner, only peek under the edges.
- You have to be comfortable with tools (drill, measuring tape, etc. ), or you'll make a mess

This results in a much nicer rack set-up than raingutter or door mount. It's a more permanent solution, yet the tracks aren't that noticeable once the rack is removed (which is quick and simple). These tracks are more flexible and have better attachment hardware that cheaper alternatives (plusnuts vs. screws). To be fair, Thule also seems good. I was nervous about drilling holes in the roof, but it wasn't that bad. You do need to follow instructions carefully, and realize that recommended hole locations aren't available for all vehicles (I found out that right over the door column isn't the best choice). A depth limiter (other than tape on the bit) is important, and a drill guide (to keep the bit from sliding and perpendicular) would be helpful. Even with an indentation from a punch, the bit still can slide. The end result - a 3000 mile trip with a fully loaded hardshell cartop carrier, no leaks, and completely solid. I'm very pleased with these tracks, and with Yakima customer service.
