Matt's Garage

cool and thanks! Let me confirm measurements to make sure I can fit in my garage with a low profile solution (if I remember I will have about 1/4" clearance but I need to do a really careful measure to be sure). I like the other solutions as well.

I got mine right down on the roof for just a couple of dollars. Not the nicest looking thing but got me in my garage until something else comes along. Like when Matt gets off his butt and SA sells his sanctions.

would be nice to see if those do get made, I will take a set.

I saw that Sal in one of the links Matt had provided. Got me thinking about the best way to do this for now.

Just so you know, I made these mounts as low as possible keeping two things in mind:
1) Clearing the satellite antenna
2) Getting S-hooks from ratchet straps, etc under them.

When measured at the centerline of the roof:
The bottom of my load bar is 7/8" above the roof
The bottom of my load bar is 3/16" above the antenna
The bottom of my Rola cross rail is 1-5/8" above the roof (so you have basically 1.5" to squeeze your arm under there to wash the roof, pass straps, etc)

If I was just using a 2-bar system and didn't need to clear the antenna, I could probably drop it down 1/2" lower.... but it's so low as it is, im not sure it would really make any difference at this point...

The design would have to be greatly improved upon to meet SA standards. These are good for a "home machinist" job...
