Dear all. I am having a hard time finding roof bars or even roof rails for my newly acquired Lexus RX300 (2001 plate)

Any and all suggestions welcome.

I have searched eBay and thule and general web searched for about a month but nothing.

There is one on eBay but even the seller doesn't think it will fit.

Camping season is coming us and I need to attach the roof box somehow.

Any help welcome.

Thanks

No problem sourcing cheap rail systems IF the 2001 model is the same as the 2003-2005 fitment:  https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/185474533991?var=0&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&mkrid=710-53481-19255-0&campid=5338749392&toolid=20006&_ul=GB&customid=GB_131090_185474533991.146649679390~1872802775217-g_CjwKCAjw9IayBhBJEiwAVuc3ftI-LZ2EI-uU6h9C7x7BAheEcLm7_XIaof21WXdFgi7YVpH4IBYHRxoCWSQQAvD_BwE

 

If not, bars are going to be easier to source I suspect.

The issue with many bars is wind noise.  Despite using aero bars, I found them as noisy as straight square section bars.  Rails don't add much but at least give you the option of using a wide variety of bars or racks of your choice.  Racks have the advantage that you can add a reasonable amount of luggage (there is a roof mass restriction to loading in all cases) and they're less awkward to mount than large roof boxes.
