Help finding rain gutter rails?

I'd like to add a roof rack to my cap using Thule rain gutter feet that I already own. I have seen a number of trucks on the road with artificial rain gutter rails that span the whole distance of the cap, but when I looked for them online, all I found were the brackets (part #542). I contacted Thule customer service and was told they only make the brackets. But, I've seen at least 6 trucks this week with the rails, so I know they're available somewhere. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks.

I welded some angle iron onto a cargo carrier to serve that purpose.
I’ve never seen a long track like you describe.
Maybe weld some angle to some flat stock and rivet or bolt through the canopy?
Steel or aluminum would work. A38E266F-FFDE-4AD8-AB20-DF2CCB9F7615.jpeg

Posting this for future reference, in case anybody googles this topic and finds this thread. I spoke to a couple truck cap retailers today, and Thule ceased production of rain gutter rails about a year ago. So, the only choices are custom fabrication, or the #542 brackets.
