sure, this is done constantly. however, i would strongly advise you to use
the yakima artificial gutters. the yakimas use four screws instead of two,
and work with a thule rack. four screws distribute the load much better.
while you are at it, consider putting gas shocks in the poptop to make it
easier to open with a load. there is a pic of my setup at

if you go the shocks route i can give you all the parts numbers needed.
