RX450h Roof Rails Wanted (2009-2015)

[mwel]

Would anybody have a set of roof rails for a RX450h (2009-2015 model) that they want to sell?

I can get them from Lexus for about £300, but thought maybe someone here may have removed them from theirs and might sell them?

I could arrange UPS for collection if that makes the idea of selling easier.

(Pic added for clarity to show what I am looking for)

Thanks,

I should add too that my profile has me in Dublin, but I also have a UK address so there wouldn't  be any Brexit shipping issues, it would just be a normal UK domestic sale.

These side rails are often wanted but rarely people sell them.  I bought mine for circa £300 from Lexus Parts Direct about 3 years ago,  so bearing in mind costs of most things have gone up in the interim, I suppose that's not a bad price.  Your best bet is probably a breaker but they know how these are in demand  so don't sell cheap.  

If you do manage to get a used pair, try to get the longer bolts needed to fit them.  New rails come with these and new gaskets. The later is important as this has been identified as an entry point for water ingress, although an appropriate silicone may suffice.

Great, thanks for the tip on the bolts, I'll certainly make sure about sealing around bolts, I've some good marine grade sikaflex that I'll add to the addition. You're right about breakers, I put an ad up on one of their sites and the only quote to come back was for the same price as the dealers.

Buy new from one of the official parts dealers and keep the original plastic covers, so that you can uninstall the bars and re-sell to recover cost in a few years.
