Roof rails and bike racks

[abtx]

Anyone can recommend roof rails and bike rack for 2010 RX? My model doesn't have roof bars, so the rails would use the fixing points on the roof. As for the bike rack, I'm thinking the type that's fitted at the back to keep the height low and so I can use the top rails for a roof box or perhaps a tent.

I just bought a thule setup, wing bars and the correct feet, hard to get but , not a bad setup, there is a lexus non rail roof rack available also lexus parts direct have one listed.

Hi, forgive me for jumping in, I am a newbie here. I am looking at buying a 2013 RX 450h, which I understand has a sunroof and no built in roof bars.

Would the Thule set up you refer to work? Please would you be kind enough to share the details.

I have a 2013 RX.  It doesn't have a sunroof but does have roof rails.

out of curiosity what were the part numbers?  not bars so much as the foot pack and adapters?  is that the type that clips around the lip of the door opening or does it attach in to the position of the roof bar cover plates?

Thats what I used to clamp to the roof , no rails so this was good option
