i call BS on the MR comment, The roof of the car must be strong enough to hold it's weight incase of a roll over. the Sheet meatal might be aluminum but i'm almost certain it still has Steel Suports.

I have a Yakima for mine, and the mounts don't sit on the actual roof panel so the MR comment wouldn't mean anything anyways. Works beautifully and doesnt hurt the paint one bit.

your MR roof is strong enough to hold a rack. the racks put all the loads on the door pillar, which are strong enough for rollovers, so certainly for a rack with a snowboard or 8.
