A total peanut gallery reply but....
I would suggest using a double plate method so that when you torque the plastic case bottom to the cross bar on the roof rack, the plastic doesn't try and bend around the round tube and crack. Something like in Link #1. (Just for picture reference). I would also suggest not doing a metal on metal clamp for the u-bolts, i would walk through ace hardware/Home Depot to find some kind of rubber to compress between the u-bolt and the tube. Like in Link#2.
Lastly, seal that interface so it doesn't leak. My 2 cents =)
