Roof rail delete?

I'm not sure if that trim piece exists for the 460 since they all come with rails. You might need to pick up that trim piece for 470 and see if it can be made to work with the 460.
The one part appears to be this
BRACKET, ROOF RACK, RH/LH
63185-42020
Just some general FSM info here

Or just take off the rails, and reinstall the bolts with lots of weatherproofing on the threads. I used windshield sealant in my case. It's not like the roof is highly visible to require any finishing plastic pieces.

I went ahead and purchased a couple of things, Genuine Lexus Roof Rack Removal Cover Kit 2003-2019 Lexus GX460 GX470 | eBay, Dawn® ES1261602-S - European Style 1" Wide Matte Black Molding (carid.com) I ended up doubling up the trim to get the correct height.

Love that color! Did the rail delete on my ole 2005 4Runner as well, love that look.
The roof rails are so pointless, I'm amazed they even still install them at the factory and don't option them out as an upcharge. The vast majority of owners will never put anything on the roof.
Now you got me thinking about doing the delete on my GX.... hmmm

Alright, so started to do the rail delete on my 2020 GX. Didn't realize that I needed to get additional molding for in between these caps that are being added. How crucial is this molding? I ordered similar molding to what is noted a couple posts up. Just trying to understand if it is really to prevent any water from getting in this channel at all? Or as long as I put silicone around the bolts of the brackets, should be ok?
Thanks

Finally got the molding and added it to finish off the mod. I'm really happy with it, especially considering I'd never use those rails (I have my 4runner with anything for that). Wife wanted a more luxury look, and I feel this mod is great as it seems to sit the body downwards a bit on the 22s. Thanks for the info above to get this mod done.
