Thanks for the advice! I've been looking around online and think maybe a trunk rack will work for now. I wasn't sure I could get a trunk mount for an Element. And - as Tuckervil said - they're cheaper. For sure!

I'm starting to move further away from the idea of a roof rack because I keep picturing how many bugs accumulate on the windshield when making this drive and all of those bugs on my beautiful bike! That's not a pretty site!
