Metro roof rack?

[sbiddle]

Is there such a thing as a factory roof rack for my new (1996) 3 dr Metro? I know I can get a Yakima or Thule rack, but are ther any other alternatives out there?

Thanks ahead of time for your reply!

I ended up buying a rack from JC Whitney for about $85. The footprint is 36" X 36". It looks like a factory type rack with the two cross bars onto which I can attach my el cheapo bearcrafter ski racks. I havn't gotten the rack yet, but when it comes and I get it installed I'll let you know how it came out.

Take some measurements and go wander around a local salvage yard. Roof raks are generally easy to cut down if they're oversize. Check out what's on minivans and station wagons. I'll bet you'll find something that would look good and be easy to install for under $20. Just a suggestion. While you're there you might want to look at after-market sunroofs too. I put one in my Metro for $10 and loved it!
