Red mini in link is my old one. I personally think these are the best racks. That type of rack has got the four suction pads which just sit nicely on the roof then you keep the rack held down with the clamp on each side.

Edit: Desmo racks are also good. They clamp straight to the roof gutter like the mini in the link you posted :) but that's not a Desmo rack
