I noticed that my 2014 LX 570 are missing these clips on both side. I'm not sure what the correct term or part number if I need to replace them. Help is appreciated!

Following this. Some of mine are missing too. Not sure why. I've owned my vehicle since brand new. Does anyone know what purpose these have? Is it simply for wind noise reduction or aerodynamics?
 
Thanks. I also have one missing. Was looking for the part number as well.

These pieces come off easily, especially in a car wash. My Lexus dealer did some work last year and then they ran it through their on site car wash. Before I drove off I looked up on the roof and saw some missing moldings. I asked the service manager to go look in the car wash for them. He returned with not just my parts but enough parts to do 3 or 4 roofs worth of trim! And some ended up fitting his LX because he had never thought to check if they were missing or not....and of course they were.
 
There is a metal rib molded into the interior. Before install make sure the channel is good and clean, and straighten the trim piece if it isn’t already. The metal rib forcing them into a curved shape contributes to them coming out.

Also to avoid bending them to go in, that plastic part behind it with the raised line can be removed by pushing it in the direction of the arrows.
 
One of the things thrat drove me nuts on my LX570, contributing to my keeping it only one year. Land Cruisers don't have this issue.
 
Ran across this picture. Shows the little metal rib molded into the trim.
