Strengthen you factory roof rack, add another elevated crossbar!
I am a Carpenter and load lumber on the rack weekly. They flatten out under the load an it occurred to me that I could easily add another elevated crossbar. I bought a rack at a local yard for $20. The load is now supported by 3 bars instead of 2. It's an easy solution and keeps the factory look.

It doesn't matter which one you use, they are both the same. I placed the old extra one in the middle because I painted it and it didn't look as nice as the others. It sits about 1/2 higher in the middle, but that is probably because mine have flattened out a little. When loaded they all will compress and it will support the load more evenly.
