I took off my roof rack last night wonder if anyone else has taken their roof rack off and what they used to cover holes and what did u use for the rubber strip that runs from the front to back?

Sewell has a kit for $70, everything you need will be there.

There are 8 bolts, 4 clamps and 4 plugs in the kit. I would suggest you put the original bolts back in to prevent water from getting in the bolt holes (on the off chance it ever rains again).

I put the new bolts in but used plumbers putty on them to stop any leaking....

Carver

I meant until he can get the kit to finish it up. Topless is good!

Cleaning the roof is so much easier. Less air drag, too.

Have not used the roof rack ever since the RX was purchased.

I haven't ever used my roof rack either. Plus, removing the roof rack will decrease wind noise, and you'll see a slight improvement in mpg (nvm, it might not be noticeable but it's there).

I have used the Rack and at some point will need to put it back on for a storage box. but it's allot of fun to have the racks of atm.

Lol you guys are awesome..... I called the local lexus dealer here and they had no idea what i wanted i posted this this morning and i got a response with-in a matter or minutes and order has been placed.... But is there a way i can get a one piece weather strip instead of the split ones...?

Carver

There is a one piece strip for the panoramic roof, I think it runs about 115 bucks, don't know if that is for both sides!

Great shot of your wheels, and yes I love the look without the rack, no more soccer mom look....

mandyfig

Agree love the shot.

Ask for the Panoramic sunroof inserts. 100 each

Liking the look without the rack too.

Can I remove just the cross-members without removing all sections first?
