And the only real reply on my thread on this was "Baja rack basket" ... which is almost as expensive as a new more versatile roof rack from the vendor of your choice.

I'm about to pull the plug and just buy a new rack. I'm bummed because I worry about things like water leaks (yes, paranoid), but the rack just isn't functional.
