Remove the roof rack and check how bad it is.
If it is only surface rust you can sand / wire-wheel it off. You may need to dig out the gutter sealer if there is rust down in the gutters. Once that is gone you can wire-wheel the gutters as well.
If you have holes they will need to be filled. If welding is definitely not an option, a cheap fix would be to use bondo / body filler. Watch some youtube videos.
After that you'll need to reseal the gutter with a car body seam sealer. I used this product I believe: Eastwood self leveling seam sealer
Prime & paint are your final step. (I believe with the eastwood product I had to prime, seal, then paint).
Hope you got it before it gets too bad! Good luck!
