I can't find an OEM roof rack 2007-2017 LS anywhere on the Net. Any ideas where I could get it? I've been to a lot of sites that claim they have the rack, but they all got back to me saying they can't get it. The rack is end-of-life, but maybe there's someone who's still got it in stock?
The OP's location is EU. Roof racks for the LS have been sold by Lexus dealers in the UK and Europe from the introduction of the Lexus LS400 in 1990 through 2017 for the LS460 although I don't see them for the LS500. Attached are the installation instructions for the LS460/600.
I suppose the OP could continue to search for a new rack using the part number shown in the instructions or to look for a used rack.
It is possible that roof rack from another vehicle would fit. I would check to see if any of the Thule roof racks would fit since Thule supplies roof mounted accessories for sale by Toyota and Lexus dealers in Europe.
I would recommend not running one. A hitch rack is significantly better for almost all applications.
Maybe the OP wants to carry snow skis, paddle board, kayak, etc. Hitch racks are great - I currently have two for carrying bicycles - but they're no substitute for roof racks.
I see this is an old post but since I might be able to help people finding a rack I'm adding my setup. After much searching I found something over here in Europe that works fine and you might be able to get hold of in the US, Yakima S8 mount + rails (110 cm wide) and then the Prorack clamp kit K189. All up it was Eur 260 so good value for money. I can add pic's if you'd like to see what it looks like? Cheers

I’d like to see some pics. I snow ski. I use the pass through from the trunk. and can fit 3 pairs but always open to other options. What are you using your rack for?
Hi, sorry just got round to this. Pic attached - its the Yakima S8Y that I got. I'm getting a bit of whistling at 60-75 kmh so need to maybe play round with the positioning on the roof as maybe its to do with the angle.
