Aftermarket Roof Racks - How to attach 60” crossbars?

[Brad Fx]

Since a lot of aftermarket roof racks have 1/4” aluminum side rails, how do you attach towers with longer, 60” crossbars?

For example, Yakima has towers, but I don’t see how any of them could attach to the thin, 1/4” surface area. Yakima was not aware of a solution/attachment to make this work.

Anyone have experience they can share and a photo?

The Prinsu style is just overkill for me. I wish there was a basic tower attachment like the old-school Thule bars and towers to strap some surfboards, kayaks, or ski rack attachments to.

Anyone drilled through the hardtop yet and mounted rain gutter attachments?

Every rack seems to be that style unfortnately. Am I missing a cross bar option where we don't have to use the factory rack?

Seasucker makes a rack with 60" crossbars that works with Bronco roof. The style closely resembles Thule/Yakima setups which is why I bought it. I just did a write up last week (Seasucker Ridge Ready Monkey Bars). They can be spaced any distance along the roof panels and you can still remove your ENTIRE roof with no added hassle.
