I think the rails have a fairly standard shape and the Yakima 'lowrider' is designed to grab onto that for your crossbar mounts (and I'm sure there's a Thule equivalent).

My parents have the Yakima that doesn't fit their current so they are giving it to me. I'll pick it up Aug 5th, so I can post some pictures then if there's still interest.

i will try and send pics of the rack. I was fortunate enough to examine the roof rails and i have learned that the mounting hardware is different on the ES model from the LS and XLS model. i am now looking for a way to attach the OEM roof rails to an '07 ES model sans mounting brackets.

Are you mixing up 'crossbars' with 'roof rails'? How are you going to attach rails without mounting brackets? You could fabricate your own, I suppose if you are really talented, but something has to bolt to the car. I doubt you'd be able to make something yourself to mate up well with the OEM mount points. I bet there's a trim peice on the roof of an ES that comes off to reveal some sort of hard bolting point, and you just need to buy the OEM parts.
