hey, bricknuts!

I am considering getting a mountain bike and am thinking about getting a THULE bike rack for my '89 245, which has no factory or aftermarket roofrack. I'm opting for THULE after learning it is from sweden, and based on my search of the archives, that's what many of you nuts recommend. looking on ebay, there seems to be a lot of parts and sizes. I am confused! here are my questions:

1. will I need to drill any holes since I don't have a factory rack already? I REALLY DON"T WANT TO DRILL HOLES!

2. from what I understand, there are 2 main crossbars, the long thing that goes perpendicular to the crossbars and which you put the bike on, and a fairing (windscreen). what model/size do I get?

3. are all fairings the same length?--in case I want to get it separately.

4. what is a good setup? I know there are more parts than the three main ones mentioned in #3.

thanks!
