Rx300 Roof Bars

[kenclarke]

Hi all

I'm after a set of roof rail/bars to put a top box on when I go away in August. I have a 2002 Rx300 and was wondering if anyone knows best place to get hold of a set. I have nothing other than the slots/ channels on the roof at present. Thanks

Hello Ken. I have a set of lexus roof bars, however, the reason they are not on my Rx is because I do not have the slot/channel nuts that go into the channels on the roof and which hold the bars in place. I bought them from some fellow in London on eBay, he did mention in his listing that he didn't have the fixing kit but I was so pleased to have found some genuine roof bars, and his listing was so 'wordy,' that I didn't read his listing properly.

I have enquires with lexus UK and they were very helpful - the bars I have are genuine lexus bars from America, unfortunately lexus no longer make the 'fixation kit' as they call it. I occasionally peruse UK and use eBay for the channel nuts but they only come up as a part of a full set of roof bars and nuts. Or roof bars, nuts and the channels themselves, and then only in the usa.

So it's up to you - if you think you are handy enough to rig up some sort of fixing kit, perhaps with channel nuts and washers and whatever else, then I am willing to part with my roof bars for a modest fee. Alternatively you can get some ugly after armed ones on eBay.

Hi Japanese Bob

I'm quite handy with my hands so may be able to fabricate something up. How much would you be looking for?

Try Thule T-track bolts just Google them, they will fit and work fine IMO as my Thule bars I had when I owned an RX300 with tracks used a foot with the T track bolts in them
