Thule Roof Rack for a 2019 Toyota Highlander With and Without Factory Rails
Question:
My 2019 Highlander LE doesnt seem to have a front to back mount for installing cross bars. Would the cross bars attach directly to the roof, or do I need to purchase a mounting bracket for the cross bars? Thanks

For your 2019 Toyota Highlander, we have a variety of options for roof racks depending on what kind of roof you have. Thule makes great roof racks, so I'll use their WingBar Evo line as a comparison for you.
If you have a factory rail system (rails that run front to back), then the WingBar Evo 53", part # TH711420, is a good crossbar system that connects to the rails using the Rapid Podium Feet, part # TH460R, and the Podium Fit Kit, part # THKIT3134. I've linked to a video installation of this setup along with a link to the entire rack system.
If you do not have a rail system, then the WingBar Evo 60", part # TH711520, is a similar crossbar system. It connects directly to the roof using the Rapid Traverse Feet, part # TH480R, and the Traverse Fit Kit, part # THKIT1803. I've linked to a video review of this setup along with a link to the entire rack system as well.
