What Roof Rack will Work with My 2017 Lexus RX 350?
Question:
I was told by the Lexus dealer that I can not put rails on my RX 350 because it has the panoramic roof, is that true? If not which rails would you recommend? I already have a Yakima roof skybox from a previous suv and would like to use it with the Lexus.

Expert Reply:
We actually do carry roof rack systems that we have tested on your 2017 Lexus RX 350 with a panoramic roof. For a roof rack that works with this setup, I recommend the following parts:
- Yakima JetStream Crossbars - Aluminum - Black - 50" Long - Qty 2 # Y00425
- RidgeLine Towers for Yakima Crossbars - Flush Side Rails - Qty 4 # Y00145
- RidgeClip Fit Kit for Yakima RidgeLine Roof Rack Towers # Y06027
- (optional for extra security) Yakima Same Key System (SKS) Lock Cores (QTY 4) # Y07204
With the above roof rack system, you will be able to carry accessories on your 2017 Lexus RX 350 with a panoramic roof. Your Yakima Skybox will fit on this Yakima system. One thing to keep in mind about your Skybox is that there might be an issue with you being able to fully open your rear hatch on your vehicle. In order to confirm this for you, feel free to provide me with the model of Skybox you have.
