Pierre,

 

What Michael and Aaron said. Are you just determined to have a roof rack 
system? I have a friend who is in no way stupid but he has decimated two 
bicycles running the whole system loaded into parking garages. Of course 
both were covered by insurance but do you really want to go though the 
hassle of hoisting a bike up to the roof and or an insurance claim? 

 

I've had the Thule Thule T2 XTR - 2 
Bike<http://www.rei.com/product/816726/thule-t2-xtr-2-bike> carrier 
it carried my Hilsen with long board fenders great. I later sold it because 
I sold my truck and bought a small Miata installed a receiver hitch myself 
and bought a Saris Freedom 2-Bike Hitch Rack which was half  the weight, it 
works okay as it offers main support at the down tube and does not damage 
the paint. One caveat though it does take some fine tuning to fit two bikes 
well, but once you get the hang of it no problem. The Thule though if you 
have the vehicle is by far the easiest to use and my recommendation.
