The Pickup and Open Air body styles have a basic roof rack that mounts at the windshield and above the B-pillars, here's a screenshot (with added tower bars):

and the SUV and Fastback body styles have an "Extension Version" roof rack that mounts at a similar location (there's no non-extension version in Maker AFAIK):

If I want to run pickup-mode in summer and fastback-mode in winter with a roof rack in both body styles, do we think I can just get the roof rack with the Fastback version and remove the center section?

I need a place for gravel bikes and kayaks in summer, and fatbikes and skis in winter!

It does appear that the center section is a separate piece, so that should work, but this is just a render, we will probably know more in June.

Looks like it’s in a 2 or 3 section build. The front and back secrions stay the same, and the middle section is added ir removed. Logically, this would be re-used parts followijg the design of the vehicle. So getting the extended version will likely get you the short rack, with a center add-in. Wouldn’t be surprised if that’s how it is billed/shipped as well.
Extended would be the short rack bundled with the extension instead of one part
