For the fake rain gutters no, but Quick-N-Easy has been making metal
gutter rack brackets for a long time and they may have the clearance
you need.  Much cheaper alternative as you can use whatever you want
for  a crossbar......almost.  I sitll don't like the greasy slippery
sensation I get when scooting my boats overa Yakima bar.  Makes me
wonder how far they'll scoot when I hit the brakes too hard.  I like
friction when it comes to transporting boats on top of your vehicle!!
