I once parked my car outdoors for a couple of weeks in the middle of a Pennsylvania summer, and the roof weather strip on the passenger side lost its adhesion lol. Like others have said, just get a car cover and you’ll be fine!

Hiya! You are an OG for sure :) H2P!

Just saw your signature haha! You have a 2015 LX, which has a different roof configuration from the 2016+ models. I honestly wish we still had that older-generation roof design — it would have saved me from the headliner drop and all the pain I’ve gone through so far!

Would moving the adjustable mount brackets from the second crossbar to the first crossbar affect the rear clearance? I tried pulling the fairing down a bit, hoping it would lift the rear, but it actually caused the rear to sit even lower. I’ve attached photos of my setup compared to the...

What year is your LX? I may not need the shims once I move the new adjustable mount brackets to the first crossbar. My current adjustable brackets are installed at the second crossbar. And yeah, they’re really busy right now! I’ve spoken with Zach a few times, but he isn’t always available by...

Posting my solution for the Sherpa Blanca rack install on a 2021 LX570, in case it helps someone down the road. 1. Front Mount / Hole Sealing On the 2021 LX, there are two factory holes on each side at the very front (located at the second crossbar position). These should not be used for...

Hey Riffman — What I meant was that the shop assumed the first front slots on each side were meant for them to bolt the Sherpa mount into, just like the other holes and mounting points. That was incorrect. Sherpa designed the rack so that each side has four mounting points, with the very front...

KLF – Thanks for the tape recommendation! I just placed an order. I’m really frustrated with the shop, but I don’t think they drilled any new holes in my roof. The 2021 LX has four mounting points on each side, and it looks like the shop simply reused the existing holes at the very front, which...

I should add: aside from the shop’s unfortunate mistake, the Sherpa rack itself is rock solid and beautifully made. The build quality is excellent, and I’m really happy with the product overall.

Hey guys, Long-time lurker here, finally making my first post on MUD. Thank you so much for taking the time to read my message — and apologies in advance for the complexity of my situation! I recently had a shop install the Sherpa Blanca rack on my 2021 LX570. While they did a solid job...
