What Roof Rack do You Recommend for My 1999 Lexus LS 400 with a Naked Roof?
Question:
What is the best roof rack for a 1999 Lexus LS 400 with a naked roof and sunroof. Struggling to find a system that seems to work for our car. Thanks!

While there are no traditional roof rack systems that are confirmed to fit your 1999 Lexus LS 400 with a naked roof, we do have a great option that will work great: the SeaSucker Monkey Bars # 298-SX6000B. The Monkey Bars are designed to attach to your glass sunroof as well as the roof of your vehicle. I went ahead and attached a review video of a Monkey Bar system installed hauling a kayak while mounted to the sunroof.
Apart from its versatility, the Monkey Bars include an impressive 150-pound weight capacity. In addition to the capacity, the monkey bars involve the easiest and fastest installation/removal process of any roof rack we currently carry. To add extra theft-deterrence, I recommend the etrailer Cable Lock # e98891 along with the Window-Mounted Cable Anchor # 298-BA0010.
