@Rhino-Rack I have a GX 500 Luxury + with a huge sun roof and a "floating" roof rack that makes lots of noise. A simple wind fairing on the front would be delightful. Even better would be a wind fairing with an integrated light bar with a Bluetooth on-switch in the vehicle cabin. Make sense?
I saw this, too. I suspect that it's a perfect storm (pun intended) of amount of rainfall and car speed. I confess that it didn't bother me but instead was entertaining to watch and predict when/if it would run down, run up, or disappear in a splash.
@Rhino-Rack I suspect that you could make $$$ and many loyal customers by making new front and rear bars for the existing Lexus rack that cut down on wind noise. I'd pay almost as much as a new rack just to avoid having to swap rails. Just a thought...
The factory rack on my Luxury+ makes some noise. I tried to install a Thule wind deflector off my old car. It doesn’t fit well: the from bar of the Lexus rack is about 7” wide. Even using long zip-ties, the deflector has a gap since the Lexus front rail has a downward cant. I’ll keep trying. PS...
I expect that many vendors will soon offer a winch for the GX 550. I seek a low profile one with tow mounts and extra fog lights. LMK if/when you spot one?
