Can anyone help with the above request? My Bongo has a fixed roof. There is a rain gutter, but the roof is about 4 inches above the gutter and most
roof bar side pieces arent tall enough. What did other folk do?

I think the problem will be lateral stability when you have that extra height, you will need extra plates at the top to brace the cross members in order to stop them swaying side to side.

OK, thanks for the warning about stability.
I only want the rack so I can transport a long ladder a few miles across town: it wont be a fixture
