3 suggestions:
1) Mount them to another (longer length) roof rook that extends closer to the front window
2) one of those protruding light bars that mounts into the roof rail channels (don't remember who makes those) or
3) Try using an OEM roof rack moved up to the front as far as possible with 2 hook/loop screws drilled and mounted to the top of the horizontal roof rail, secured by a nut under the rail.

I know the 1st and 2nd options will work (albeit more expensive alternatives) but don't know about the third option - but might be worth a try & playing with it to see if it works. Let us know what you come up with.

Woods, if you can't do the limb risers try a very light tension spring on your CB antennas just for OffRoad use. That is what I use on the driver side mount (smae place as the OEM radio antenna but opposite side). OnRoad it will wack the ba-jeebers out of the windshield over 40mph.:emb:

Another idea would be to replace the 2 front-most roof channel torx screws (T-27) and rplace the screws with a long plastic washer and a longer same-sized screw with a loop/hook and secure the new longer screw into the hole where you removed the torx screw from (very simlar to the way you secure the front mount bracket on a Gobi roof rack).

or you could just put a force field around your 3 and then nothing will touch it

Remember guys and gals the attachment points for the roof rails/roof racks are not that strong by themselves. You can spin the rivnut out of it's hole pretty easy with just a cordless drill (ask me how I know that). That's why they use multiple mounting points on racks and rails to distrubute the weight, load and stress over a larger surface area.

I wouldn't want anything attached at that single point with constant tension pulling on a downward angle then add the stress and force of a tree branch ........SNAP! There goes the monting point sending the bolt and riser line into your hood and as a plus you also get a nice hole in your roof.
