A Roof Rack For A Toad ?
The thing has no gutters, just four doors. A '95 Dodge Spirit. I also need a "cut resistant" cargo net to defeat the legions of "mice" down here. Sadly my budget is not Space Shuttle grade. But looks ...

Also consider a roof cargo bag. Most are flimsy, but Seattle Sports makes the "Sherpak" line which are very heavy and durable, and range in size from large to gigantic. Try ebay for the 10 cu ft size at around $50 delivered, or the 20 cu ft size for around $100 or so--both used prices, new are about double.
A cargo bag is going to be more aerodynamic than an open rack, and the fabric will flex to accomodate odd sized items that might be too big for a hard shell carrier, if you're looking at those. Plus your items are out of view, which makes passers-by less likely to steal them from your parked car.
For hard racks, also look at Yakima and Tule. These are very expensive new but Yakima customer support can tell you what fittings will work with your car, and you can take that info to eBay.
NOTE: Even if your car can accept no rack whatsoever, you can still use a roof bag. Many come with straps that simply run inside your car and across the ceiling, if necessary (don't forget to opent the doors before your strap the bag on).
Good luck!
