911 what a neat way to do it! Love the clamp.

I used Thule and Yakima from yard sales and rummage sales. $15-$25 for the feet and bars.

Funny the w126 needed a special Thule foot that is rare. The rail mount that everyone buys won't fit. So for the 126 I went to Yakima 1A. I used black pipe from Home Depot wrapped in shrink tube as load bars.

I noticed clamping the rails created a tiny hairline crack in the paint a long the gutter. I'm hoping the gutter won't rust out. I'll hit the gap with rust paint one of these days. The body will probably outlast the rest of the car though.
