Default Cargo Basket for 2014 with pillar-style roof rails?

I am the new owner of a 2014 Outlander GT which has the Mitsubishi (re-badged Thule?) pillar style roof rails. I am looking for a cargo basket to mount on top. Has anybody found one that works?

Since the rails are permanently mounted, and therefore can't slide forward and backward, my current Black Widow roof baskety won't work. The rails don't line up with the mounting brackets on the basket. My previous vehicles have had roof rails that I could slide forward to backward.

Any suggestions for a roof cargo basket that will work are greatly appreciated!

We had the same issue with a Ford Transit van using non-slideable mounts the Thule crossbars and the Thule basket with the basket extension. We had to trim down the extension a little to get the rails to line up. It works pretty good and was only off by about 1/2".
