Roof Rack Template?

Roof rack Template
I have a template from an install I did a couple days ago. I made it/traced it from a rack that was stock/factory installed onto 4 sheets of standard sized notebook carbon paper using reference points on the vehicle. I then transfered the template and installed second set of bars onto my other HHR using the method posted in thread

Original stock rails
Tracing template using reference points on original vehicle
Placement of templates for install on other vehicle
My install was successful.
I feel confident with the placement, as i drive cab for a living with the my original HHR, and have hauled many clients luggage/cargo on the roof to bus/train stations/airports successfully using an attached crossbar and rack accessory. However, bear in mind that although the weight is evenly distributed, even the manufacturers still list weight limits.
Please see attached pics. Essentially anyone could make a template similarly by tracing it from the roof of a junkyard model. If you can't find one locally, I may be able to scan them into an e-file and send in an email. However, use at your own risk. I can't assume any liability for damages due to misuse etc...
