I have the Automaxi roofbars, which cost about £45.00 from ebay. They are very solid items, and have large rubber feet which sit on the edge of the roof, adjacent to the rubber strip. It is then secured in place by a clamp that grips under the door shut area (same method as the Thule fitting).
One thing to watch is I originally bought the plastic ones from ebay(made in Italy by 'Cam'), and ended up sending them back, as they did not fit very well - it didn't matter how much I tightened the fixing bolt, the foot was still pretty loose on the roof, and I was able to easily swivel it around. They also made a horrific whistling noise at motorway speed, and within a couple of weeks of being fitted, and not yet having carried any load at all, they were starting to split quite badly on the big plastic block that forms the middle part of the foot pack.
