Default Roof rack options for 2016?

I just picked up a 2016 Grand Caravan and I see no roof rails and I need some form of roof rack that doesn't require drilling into the roof (it's a leased vehicle.)

I can't find anything in either user manual about it or anything online.

Did Dodge eliminate the roof rails completely in this vehicle?!?!?!?!

It's all about saving MPGs. Did you figure out anything for your problem? I have a 2015 and I'm weighing my options. I bought it so I might end up drilling a rack on. Like the "Perrycraft AV4778-SV Aventura Silver 47" Wide x 78" Long Complete Ready-To-Install Roof Rack Kit - 110 lb. Capacity" on Amazon. Also considering Thule, but the kit seems like it only hooks onto the sliding door frames, so you only get 27.5" on center, which isn't enough for a long cargo carrier.

Oh, and it's about $1800 for the dealership to install the OEM...

Anyone else have stories or different options?

Default Roof rack

I have Stow and Store racks on 2012 Caravan that i loath. I imagine that removing them and replacing with the Perry rails only would leave me with exposed holes in the roof.
