We do indeed offer some fits for your vehicle.

The Sea Sucker # 298-SX6000B uses extremely strong vacuum cups to attach to the roof. The nice thing about this product is that they are super quick and easy to install and remove

Thule offers a rack system that would attach to the fixed points in the rails. There are four covers set in the rails roughly in the area over the doors that will need to be carefully pried out to access the mounting points. A rack would be constructed using the following parts.

Thule Rapid Podium Foot Pack, part # TH460R
Thule Wing Evo Crossbars in silver as # TH711200 or black as # TH711220
Thule fit kit # TH78RE

If you were planning on installing the rack and leaving it in place permanently, or perhaps for the winter or summer season, the Thule kit would work well for you. However if you'd rather have the racks on the vehicle only when you need them, the Sea Sucker rack would be a better choice for you. The vacuum cups really work well, by the way. Each cup has a pull strength of 210 lbs, which is amazing.

I have a 2019 Rav4 and I am interested in the Thule Rapid Podium Foot Pack, part # TH460RThule Wing Evo Crossbars in silver as # TH711200 or black as # TH711220, and Thule fit kit # THKIT3177 as an option to put racks on my vehicle. I see each of these has a price tag of $220, $220, and $120. Are these sold together in a package or would each part need to be purchased separately for a total of $560? I would prefer to have the Thule racks on my car but I dont know that I would spend nearly 2.5x the price of the factory racks.

Those Thule components aren't available as an all-in-one kit, so each of them would indeed need to be purchased separately. Thule products are fantastic, but they're definitely offered at a premium pricepoint.
