I cant see any rack, it's too dark. Try taking pics in daylight.

nope, never seen anything like it. But is it just screwed into the roof?

[SKINNY_PEDAL]

yeah got it all centered up. marked and drilled some holes, and used sheetmetal screws with silicone. its plenty stout.

i wonder why they would make a factory options that is screwed into the roof, while there are those rails where the roof rack normally would go.
