Yes quite a common add-on but be aware that the AFT roof changes shape over the years, later versions don't have the recessed drainage channels each side but the roof fixing/lifting nuts are in the same location hence the style of support needs to change depending on roof.
Also do make sure that nobody has loosened the nuts previously and possibly lost the fixing plate underneath which is hidden by the roof rails on the underside for lifting the AFT.
See here for some ideas, these are on the older type http://www.g8dhe.net/bongo_images/Roof_bars-rack
