Look on the Thule or Yakima websites for what will work on your car. As mentioned, they have systems that will work clipping into your window/rain gutters and won't damage your car. The bottom of most (all?) hard cargo cases have massive hooks to clip onto roof rails - actually onto cross bars. Nothing will protect against those claw-like clips.

If your items to take with you can fit in a standard cargo box, but you don't want to spend money on a rack for it, can you just ship your items UPS or FedEx Ground, and save cost of both box and rack ??

Corolla is rated for 1,500 pounds towing. You want to put more weight that that on the roof??

U-Haul. Sport trailer if you don't need a ton of room, 4x8 if you've got bulkier items. Sport trailer is lighter by about 300 pounds that's more weight you can tow.
