OEM roof rack load capacity?

Any ideas on what the max load capacity is for the OEM Roof Rack? Dealer can't find and neither can I???

Also, will the canoe gunwale supports from Thule/Yakima fit on the OEM bars? Thanks!

If you're talking about these canoe carriers... http://www.thule.com/en-us/us/produc...-579xt-_-13882

Then no they won't fit on the Mini factory roof rack. Why not just get some foam pads or something and forget about the thule canoe carrier? It's not like you can use fewer straps or anything with the Thule carrier versus just putting the canoe straight on the rack.
