2013 Tahoe Hybrid: adding roof "rails"/"tracks

I just bought this Tahoe and it has the bare roof. Is adding the rails something I can do? or does this have to go through the dealer? I found some on ebay that I think would work.

Thanks

To add factory style roof rails the headliner will have to come down. Rails bolt through the roof.
Dropping headliner is a big job and labor intensive when paying for labor.

Thanks for the reply. Are there any other options? Different types of rails to mount racks?
