Roof Rack removal procedure
#16
Thank you very much. We (bunch of us through the years) thought that the only way you can remove your rack was to get the long strips to replace the holes.
Awesome find!
Please let me know if this will work:
From what I have seen, I can order just the Roof drip Covers (4 pieces, 2 on each side) and 4 brackets (all identical). Then the bolts can be re-used if cut to length and rubber gaskets used.
Lastly how much was the shipping for the items you bought? I am comptemplating on just getting the stuff from my local Lexus unless I am thinking of ordering other supplies from Sewel, like oil filter, air filter, etc..
Thanks again!

[QUOTE=Kendig;4868395]Prices for the parts I used (after Sewell discount; check the vendor forum for the current code):
4 covers 18.56
4 brackets 11.24
8 bolts w/washers 16.64
Kendig,
Are the above prices each or total for all of them?
For example: 4 covers for $18.56? Or each cover is worth $18.56?
Thanks.

prices I gave are totals. see sewellpartsonline.com, click catalog quick shop and enter part numbers. note they do not include shipping, you have to start an order to see what that will be. Don't forget to look up Sewell's discount code in the vendor forum. (And even if you can get another dealer to match Sewell's price, please keep in mind that Sewell is a supporter of ClubLexus, and their people took the time to help me identify just which parts were needed. )

Ordered the parts...can not wait until I get them, I will post similar pics, too! Roof rack, say sayonara! But kendig has a good point, anytime you want the rack back...will be easy to do.

1st of all the part numbers that Kendig gave are the right ones. I opted to get the bolts locally at Home Depot.
Thanks to kendig, here we go:

I bought the parts from Sewell and they delivered pretty quickly, it was time to get some supplies anyway.
Good luck to some of you who might want to try the NEKKID roof!

Not much, just be patient, it will pop out, do not worry about yanking it.
