There you go again over thinking. I just drilled some 1/2" holes through the door pllars to fit a long eye bolt, sealer and fender washers. Just attach one end of a ratchet strap to the rack and the other to the eye bolt on either side and crank them equally. I'm partial to cedar wood racks cause you can just use decking screws to temporarly attach sheets of plywood when transporting or use more ratchet straps. The cheap Harbor Freight straps seem to be affected by exposure to the sun after 5 or 6 years and you will need to replace them. I usually drive with the window down as some times it sticks and the muffler has been rusted out for a long time so the noise created by the roof rack is usually the least of my problems. Drove that thing with 2 kayaks, building materials and 5 gallons buckets full of fish hanging off all four corners, oh and fishing rods fit right in the eye bolts along with the dip net for 10 years. Sadly I sold it last year and people don't point, smile and wave near as much as they used to.
