I would strongly recommend you not use a track roof rack system on your new 2015 Scion xB as that will require drilling through the roof which will obviously be a permanent modification that could potentially allow water to come in if not done perfectly and affect your ability to resell the vehicle in the future.
Using a Rhino Rack Roof Rack that consists of part numbers # RRVA137B-2, # RRRLKVA, # RREB-FK1 and # DK152 would be a great route. This rack clamps to the door frames of your vehicle for installation.
Obviously I can't stop you from purchasing the Rhino-Rack Roof Rack System # Y02-490B but you should note that it is designed to fit camper shells like what you see in the install video.
