My car has covered fixing points. They were shit and the (albeit budget) bar/mounts combo sheared off after a couple of uses - had to drive to France with the rack secured with ratchet straps which was interesting.
Now use Thule mounts directly onto the body work which are much more secure. They come with a couple of different rubber shims I think (or you can buy) to adapt to different roofs.

Roof bars - can anyone help clarify how universal they are? Car doesn't have rails that protrude from the roof, but has fixing points that have a plastic slide over cover (Astra G), my wife has a Jazz ES (2010).
