After my buddy bought a Thule rack for his Taurus I decided to check if they made one for FCs. To my surprise they said they did. This was a couple years ago and I never verified, but its a good place to start.

The sunroof would really not be useful if you had a roof rack on your FC.

sometimes its your only mode of transportation, using a rack is better than putting junk on the roof

A roof rack on a FC does seem a bit odd. But I guess sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do.
