Default roof racks for ED's?

sorry if this is in the wrong area, but i'm not too sure where it should go

long story but i may be needing a removable roof rack to go at the back of the roof on my ED sedan in the near future

problem i see is that theres no real place to mount a conventional roof rack to, so what are my options?

Gutterless racks are made to suit. Rola's will set you back a tidy sum but there are other brands. Actually, there are some for sale on EBay now - 120126070426 ends at 9 pm, currently at $49.

Yeah I had rola's on the wagon, they just sort of clamp onto the door frames as mentioned above. But these things aren't made to carry huge amounts of weight, what are you planning to carry?

I reckon it would look cool, and my 4 y.o twins would too "Look daddy - that man's got police lights on his car!"

ProRack make removable ones - they're around $120 or so from Supercheap, and just clamp onto the inside of the door frame. Around 2 minutes per bar to fit.
