Hello All, When looking for the QNE system I came across these. 5" clearence from the rain gutters and comes with load bearing bars: $49 (4 rain gutter feet, 2 load bars+S/H http://www.prolineracks.com/proline-gmr165-rain-gutter-racks.html It maybe the next best thing, for already made and ready to go. On other news I found some bars and rain gutter attachedments at my local re-used center. Payed $7, but it is not plug and play due to the height issue with the roof. Looking at my pile-o-stuff, found a piece of 1X1 that will solve this clearance question. GL!!
