Has anyone removed their flush mounted roof rails off of their LX570 (to install LC rails or an aftermarket rack)? If anyone has actually done their own installation of another rack, was accessing the attachment bolts from the bottom problematic?
Removing LX570 luggage rails (2016+) .... difficult?

Thanks for the link. They sure do nice work, including the custom install of a Prinsu rack via attachment to the existing OEM Lexus rails and custom mods to the crossbars to achieve fit. Unfortunately, not really what I am looking for.
I have an LC rack incoming and would like to hear from anyone that has removed the existing, flush aluminum rails on a 2016+ LX570. And if someone has installed an LC rack on said model, that would be even more assuring to hear. I’d hate to go through whatever amount of work is necessary to remove the headliner to remove the existing rack just to find out that the LC ones won’t fit
There was a thread on this a couple days ago. They dropped the headliner and Confirmed this is the only way to remove the factory rack on the 3rd Gen LX.

Thanks for the link to the thread. The upholstery folks knew what they were doing. I’m hoping that someone that’s installed LC racks chimes in.
