Stainless bent to form a set of dummy gutters (I got it done at Kendal Metalworks) - bolted onto roof with stainless coachbolts - use a standard Thule (or similar) rack for gutters - cheap on fleabay.
If you want to see it for real give me a shout - you're not far away.

I have one you can have. I put it up for sale a few months back. But it is still sitting in the garage.
