DIY roof rack

I'm thinking about making a roof rack for my 97 civic hatchback. I will have no problem making the rack itself, I'm just wondering how to mount it? How are the yakima and thules with the rails mounted?

Re: DIY roof rack

Thanks. I thought it was something like that.. Probably be easiest to see if I can just buy mounts then, or look on craigslist for a used one..

Re: DIY roof rack

Yea I agree. Used ones or seeing if you can just buy the mounts would be best.
