104 pounds, no problem. How many roof rails are you planning to use? 2 rails would only be 26 pounds per contact point. The roof sheet metal is fragile, but strong enough where the rails are bolted on. There are forum members here that have built roof platforms strong enough to hold a bunch of people (no thanks, not for me).

NTSHA requires the roof to stand more than the vehicle's weight when it is upside down, for rollover protection, so if properly reinforced and just not on the roof sheet metal, it should easily support that weight.
