Time to poll the experts as I am striking out with my far-too-many months worth of internet searching. The stock rack for a 1997 Astro (GMC Safari) is discontinued so not available through dealerships. I have asked a number of them. The only one currently on ebay is for an earlier model which will not fit. A local junk yard supposedly has a couple I can remove (for $50) but I can just imagine how enjoyable this will be. Not certain if I could spit out enough curse words to sustain me through removal of such a thing. Much less reinstallation after I bent it into a 4-dimensional lemniscate in an frustrated furious rage. Yes, I had to look up that word too.
PROBLEMS I SEE...

PROBLEMS I SEE...
- Notice how the photo below (1996 Astro & quite possibly a MR Sunrunner!!! WooooHoooo) has a universal crossbar in the front.
- My stupid van does not have the "water channels" or whatever they are called that drain water around the windows so most typical, universal crossbars have nothing to "hook" to.
- My stupid van could use a universal crossbar up front (as shown below). The type with pads & straps that run through the interior of the cab. But.....Then what the heck do I do in the rear as my stupid van does not have windows that roll down to install the same type crossbar there.
- Commercial ladder rack?? Lots of these around but are expensive if new. Maybe this is the only option??
