Roof Rack Parts Missing?
I have the roof rack cross bars but I noticed I dont have the roof protector strips that go on top of the roof to protect the paint.
You know the black plastic strips about 1/2" wide 30" long.
Am I missing somthing here? I did see them on some other RX photos.
Can I get them?
What do you guys have?

They are available ONLY on very early of 99’ production. I bought my RX on February 99’ and I don’t have roof rack cross bars already. I think you can get them from dealer.

I was told that the paint protectors were removed as folks were putting stuff directly on the roof. The weight should be carried by the carrier and NOT the roof.

BTW, there was a recall or service bulletin on the '99 roof racks, if you take your '99 in they will swap it out for the '00 design. I was told that it was due to high wind noise created by the cross bar. Our March '99 RX doesn't have paint protectors but it does have the little round tie down eyes that some roof racks seem to be missing.
