Custom fit roof racks for a 2004 Chevy Malibu Classic are going to run higher than your current budget but there is another option.

You could use the Darby system, # DTA968. This is a single bar so you would need 2. The strap fits inside the car and holds the bar to the roof. Since this is a universal fit item it would not fit as well as a custom fit rack.

I do recommend going with a custom fit rack, see link, if at all possible. You will get the best fit and performance.
