For the fake rain gutters no, but Quick-N-Easy has been making metal gutter rack brackets for a long time and they may have the clearance you need. Much cheaper alternative as you can use whatever you want for a crossbar......almost. I sitll don't like the greasy slippery sensation I get when scooting my boats overa Yakima bar. Makes me wonder how far they'll scoot when I hit the brakes too hard. I like friction when it comes to transporting boats on top of your vehicle!!
