Futon Roof Rack

[Breedlove]

I had this old Futon, and I decided to start making a roof rack out of it, here are some pics, I am going to remove the arms where the red dots are so it won't be some huge. Any ideas on how to mount it without drilling into the car?

Looks like a wicked spoiler ha

I'm going to turn it into a Sprint Car.

Maybe add some rubber protective "feet" and use webbing straps through the doors and rear windows to attach it? It actually kinda looks doable.

I would go with rivnuts, but that requires you to drill into the car.

I bought a white PVC cap that has a nut on top of it, it fits into the gutter on the roof almost perfectly.

I am trying to avoid it, I want to use only when I want to, but I think that is going to be my only way. I was hoping there was a way to attatch to the black strips in the gutter of the roof, but I don't know. Last summer, I strapped my kids wagon to the roof by running a Ratchet Down through the back windows and ratcheting it tight, but that can't be good for the rear window seal, but it was sturdy.

I cut the rails off, and it gave me another idea for this project, will post more as it progresses.
