How did it go?
I wanted the same solution as the OP, and had my local rack shop (RackNRoad, San Rafael, CA) install Yakima tracks on my rear cap and my middle MIC section. I have a ton of flexibility this way , able to adjust rack location back and forth, plus don't need to remove in order to remove roof panels. It''s a bit of a leap of faith as it requires drilling through the MIC, but I'm super happy with my leak free results and it looks totally factory inside and out. They have been installing these in Jeeps for years, which gave me comfort. Will post pics when it stops raining. I already had the crossbars, total install cost under $700.
@Frappy608 - can you please tell me what parts these are?!?
this is the best setup I have seen and I NEED this!

I had them installed professionally, but it's essentially this kit EXCEPT my bars are 60". These 54" bars I believe will work, you will just have less overhang on each side.

Also -- 1 tip, buy an extra set of landing pads and install two sets on the rear cap, one pair on the middle piece. That way if you want to run in the summer with both racks on the rear cap and front / mid roof panels removed, you can!
Thank you!!
I have a shop near me that does installs of roof racks, and am going to ask if they can/will perform this! This is the BEST setup I have seen!!
@Valkyrie Off Road Hate to resurrect an old thread but… any movement on this? On my 2dr, I’d like the modular crossbars but with the front bar attaching to the factory front windshield mounts.

Unfortunately no, we've been short staffed and have halted the development of rack options for now so we can focus on supporting our current product lines.

Any chance you can send pics of what the inside mounting points look like? Also, did you order two sets of short tracks or did your shop cut one set of tracks in half for the mid/rear sections? I've been debating doing this same thing for awhile now as I'm not totally happy with any current rack option. This looks so much better than the God-awful metal fab crap everyone is making.
Will try to snap a couple later today, but for now I can tell you that nobody has noticed they are even there. The shop did a nice job and had really cool black cap nuts that look factory.

Thanks! Does your hardtop have the headliner? Was wondering if they had to cut around it, etc. For the final product. Basically I'll be doing this myself so just curious to see as much detail about how the shop did it as possible before I attempt it at some point haha
Yes, I have the headliner -- here is a photo of one of the cap nuts. super clean, they are hard to see as they are effectively over the rollbar. The earlier photos show track placement.
Hope this helps!
