Roof rail gutter covers

[spcurrie]

I'm swapping out my flush roof rails on my Luxury+ for the raised Overtrail rails. Unfortunaltey I did not receive the rubber gutter covers with my new rails. Does anyone have these left over from a swap to a new rack they would sell? Thx.

They don't normally come with the rails

Thanks. If anyone has some gutter covers please let me know. Thx.
I wonder how essential these actually are? If I seal the threads could I get away without the covers? I figure any water will blow out when driving right?

I'm going through the same thing. I have a new expensive rack taking up space in my garage and two of the gutter moldings are back ordered. I decided I didn't want to install the rack without them so here I wait.

I've seen people install racks without them, but for me, I live in an area where a lot of leaves and other debris would have gotten stuck in the channels beneath the rack and it would be hard to clean. So rotting organic material sitting in that channel was a no-go. If you are installing the OT rails, I think they would be easy to clean but you'd have to be ok with the unfinished look.

I thought I was not going to need my gutter covers, but I went a different direction and will need them for them for the above mentioned reasons

i’m in the exact same situation as you! I went to the dealer to look for gutter covers and they are backordered and they’re very expensive!

Check the exact same part numbers but on Toyota parts sites, and use the dashes between the part numbers (eg. 75557-60080). I ordered all 4 pieces for $205 delivered, there was a 25% off offer at the time at Genuine Toyota Parts and Accessories: Official Online Store | Autoparts.toyota.com. Of course, as I mentioned I'm still waiting for 2 pieces.

Seems hit or miss price wise, but in my experience most Lexus part numbers are less expensive when you search them on Toyota parts sites. You just have to spend some time searching for the best deal and possibly free shipping.

Are the gutter covers the exact same between the LC and the GX?

Yes

Do these not already come with the car? I have the OT+ that came with the roof rack. Will I need the gutter covers if I change the roof rack?

No, Only if you have a Premium or Luxury and changing/removing the side rails

I switched my OT+ from factory rails to a full Victory roof rack. Seems one of the gutter covers came loose after and blew off the car, so you might need them

Actually, I couldn't decide if I needed to replace them - and if I do - how to get them to stay. RTV?
