To add a Yakima roof rack to the flush rails on your 2017 Lexus RX 350 you will need the following parts:

Yakima JetStream Crossbars - Aluminum - Black - 50" Long - Qty 2 item # Y00425

SightLine Towers for Yakima Crossbars - Flush Side Rails - Qty 4 item # Y64AR

SightClip Fit Kit for Yakima SightLine and RidgeLine Roof Rack Towers item # Y59AR

This aero bar roof rack system has a 165 lbs capacity. I have linked an installation video below to help you get it set up. I recommend adding the Yakima Same Key System item # Y07204 to prevent theft.

A great perk of Yakima's products is you can buy larger lock core kits 6 item # Y07206 or 8 item # Y07208 and have the roof rack and other Yakima accessories all controlled by the same key.
