Question 2005 RX330 loose roof rack; driver side front

Can anyone tell me how to fix a loose roof rack? It's the front driver side, that is loose, but I don't see any set screws. The rattling noise is going to slowly drive me crazy.

Maybe you can checkout the threat (https://www.clublexus.com/forums/rx-...procedure.html) that talks about removing the roof rack so you can see where are the screws and such. I removed mines and I can tell you that there is a cover that has a yellow double side dowel that connects the cover to the base frame. The base frame is bolted into the vehicle. In my case, the bolts are very tight and took a lot of work to remove, which tells me that rattle is probably coming from the cover.

If you don't use the roof rack, maybe you consider removing it. It cost about $100 to get the replacement parts. Also, it will be quieter and save on fuel.
