Do the Yakima HD Bars Fit A 2015 Lexus ES 350 With A Glass Sunroof?  

Question:

I have a 2015 ES 250 with a sunroof. There are no existing rails or crossbars. The eTrailer websites states that the Yakima Roof Rack package does not fit models with a glass roof or sunroof. I am curious why? Is this just a technicality? Will it fit but the sunroof tilt functionality wont work from lack of clearance? Y01156,Y28TR,Y03541

Expert Reply:

I went ahead and spoke with Yakima and they said that you actually can use the Yakima HD Crossbars # Y01156 with the BaseLine Towers for Yakima Crossbars # Y28TR, the HD Bar SL Adapter for Yakima BaseLine, SkyLine, TimberLine, and RidgeLine Towers # Y03541 and the fit kits # Y06175 & # Y06160 with your 2015 Lexus ES 350 that has a glass roof.

We list this as a "non-fit" due to the fact that you could potentially damage your sunroof while this system is installed, but it'll physically fit and work.

I've also attached a picture of this system installed on your YMM vehicle with a glass sunroof for you to check out.
