Roof Rack Help

Looking for a part number or someone to purchase this “boot” for the OEM roof rack that keeps water out

what year? LX or LC?

I am not sure that boot is what keeps the water out.

You'll have a hard time finding roof rack parts. After deep-diving on this myself, I'm led to understand that the 'factory' roof rack was actually a port-installed part, and not in Uncle T's parts catalog. A search on Partsouq and Amayama does not show roof rack parts. You'll probably have more luck searching for a used parts. Maybe reach out to Gamiviti - they replace a lot of stock racks and may have some scavenged parts sitting around.

That pad is not designed to keep water out BTW, in case that's the reason you're replacing it.

The water seal happens at the bolts that attach the rack to the roof.

I found this to be true as well. there were many different version of the roof rack, and parts are hard to find.

Thank you all for the explanation it’s a LC. Just looking for a new one because it tore and it’s not flush to the roof anymore
