Snailfly Upgraded Crossbars Fit for 2016-2022 Lexus RX RX350 RX350L RX450h RX450hL Sunroof Freedom Roof Rack Cross Bars Cargo Carrier

I very much appreciated the tip to support the Clamps and cross bar assembly with one hand while bolting each of the 4 assemblies onto the siderails of the car. If you don't hold them up as high as they will go before pulling off the siderail, they will sit too low on the siderail and make it difficult to clip the covers on. I also didn't do the final tightening of the bolts until i made sure the covers fit and I only bolted the clamps on while supporting the rail and clamping mechanism with my other hand. I never had a problem putting the cover caps on the clamping mechanism because I also test fitted each of them before doing the final screwing in of the bolts. If the locks don't turn. It is because the end of the lock does not protrude enough into the rectangular hole in the clamp mechanism. Three locks turned easily and the 4th one had to have the two bolts holding the metal piece with the rectangular hole, loosened and pulled outward slightly so the bolt would extend into the hole enough to allow the knob at the end of the lock to clear the edge of the hole. If you don't lock each Clamp, the cover can fly off in the wind. the lock is the only thing holding the cover onto the rail. One last hint, tighten the screws that secure the side clamps to the bottom of the cross rails as much as you can, but still allowing the rail to move with a little resistance. Final tightening of the screws holding the crossbars secure are difficult because they are now upside down, you can't see the hole in which the wrench is inserted, and need to find the screw hole in which to insert the wrench when it is difficult to see. Better to only need to do a few turns with the screw rather than many at an awkward angle.

They fit well, and are solid, but lack a little in precision. I'll explain... I will not be placing huge loads on top of my RX350, but these rack/rails will do what I need. They're a bit of a pain to install, and will take a little longer than you may anticipate. I like that the fittings are behind a locked cover, but putting those locked covers back on was a real pain. If you purchase these, use some kind of clamp to squeeze the cover into place, and then you'll find they lock in. Without that mechanical clamp, i couldn't get the lock to turn on a couple of them, but once on, they're solid. The whole setup, as I said, is solid, just a bit of a pain to put on.

These are good. Just make sure to put some upward pressure as you finish tightening the clamps or the covers won't lock on. Bought for a 1,600 mile road trip in our '24 X5 with a Yakima Carbonite 16 Box. Worked fine. Looked good. Maybe a little more arched than I would prefer but good overall. Did not mar/mark black sport rails. (helpful hint: The BMW sport rails have little rubber bumps on the inside track to locate the recommended mount locations. just run your finger down in on the inside. Small but you'll feel them. I spaced the rear back some to get closer to the max on the yakima box for stability.). If leaving on permanently/daily, I'd probably go OEM but for our occasional use happy with these.

Crossbars fit my 2017 RX350 as expected. Is currently carrying a Thule cargo box cross country. Only issue was that it did require a clamp to force the lock cover into place for the lock to engage. Good thing I read reviews to find the solution

I've seen other reviews talking about fitting the locking cover to the racks. In my case for a 2017 RX 350 f sport there was no such issue. Be sure to keep all hardware semi loose. Once you have found your mounting location tighten the landing pads followed by the cross bars. The locking cover fits just fine.Additionally for panoramic roofs... Plenty of room (height) for the glass and the width of the glass JUST clears the rack. Depending on where your front bar is you may have a slight rub but nothing that will cause catastrophic damage.Wind noise is virtually nonexistent. Transported my xl Thule cargo box just fine with room to left the tailgate. The only thing that remains to be seen is longevity. How it holds up to the elements will be watched and followed up.

The key covers do not fit flush so you can’t lock them. Cheap pit metal construction, screw threads strip out. Absolutely a waste of money. Buy OEM rack from dealership, at least it will work. I’d give it negative stars if I could.

The racks fit my 2020 Lexus RX 350 ok, but the key hole covers cannot be closed completely when the racks are installed.

No noted excessive wind noise, this roof rack seems slightly more heavy then other racks, but feels very solid and easy enough to install, only part that takes a few minutes is getting it just right and looking balanced on the car, again I’m very pleased that at highway speeds I can’t really hear it. Looks very good on my RX, doesn’t interfere with the sunroof, I’m looking for a similar rack for my other suv.
