As a long shot PM hellshotrod from this forum. He might have a pair of cross rails.

I think he answered this a few weeks ago with a "no cross rails" when somebody else asked....

Maybe someone will chime in to show how they made cross rails.

If the roof has nothing on it (no rails) you can look into aftermarket parts.

Your rails look exactly like mine except for the color. I took my car to the Chevy dealer today and they confirmed that my raised rails are indeed attached to the sheet metal on the roof, and not attached to the underlying crossmember K car frame. Even though the dynamic weight limit is rated at 165 lbs. (driving), I'm concerned about stability because the rails are not actually attached to the frame. I'm now looking for someone who can attach my rails to the actual car frame. What a winding road this is. Hopefully on the end I'll be able to travel with a Sparrow on top. 😎

It'll handle a sparrow, but a pigeon is probably too much

Sorry, by Sparrow I meant a Sparrow roof top tent by Roofnest. They weigh 130 lbs., I read that the dynamic weight limit is 165 lbs so that will work, I don't know the static (standing still) weight limit.
