Expert Reply:
For your 2004 Chevrolet Malibu 4-door with a bare roof we offer several options in aftermarket roof racks. You can see all products by clicking on the linked page.
You have options in both cost-effective square bar racks like the SportRack # SR1002 (made by Thule) and in more advanced ultra-quiet aerodynamic racks like the Inno Aero Bar Rack made up of parts # INXB130-2, # INXS250 and # INK521. You can use the filters on the roof rack page to select the bar type, features and colors you prefer. I also linked a series of helpful articles about roof racks that will help you decide what best fits your requirements.
A basic square bar rack like the SportRack # SR1002 will give you broader compatibility with snowboard carriers. I linked our main page for snowboard racks for you as well. If you click on the roof bar type you'll then see only carrier that will work with that bar type.
As it happens the Rhino-Rack Ski and Snowboard Carrier # RR576 that you referenced fits just about any crossbar shape, making this an excellent choice especially if you'd like to be able to use it on multiple vehicles. This carrier includes locks.
I have linked videos for each of the referenced products.
