I have the Westcott RR and love it. My GX came with the factory RR which made a lot of noise and negatively affected milage. I also have a moon roof and my Westcott RR is fully functional with all the crossbars installed.

The only concern I have is the waterproofing over time of these racks . My truck will be outside exposed to the elements in private parking. But exposed nevertheless. Any thoughts on this and for which rack would be best for that scenario?

Good question. I don't think the Westcott product has been out long enough for the test. I live on the coast and even though I leave my truck in the garage I do see trucks that are left out in the elements and you can see rust or corrosion overtime here. It's just a fact of life, but I'm not sure which product is best for that. You might want to ask the vendor how they are protected.

It fits. Really well. Super easy install and great instructions. I would recommend this over the Lexus roof rack (noise, not very tight on the roof). I didn't want to wait and didn't need a full length rack either.

I'm thinking about doing this as well, instead of the Westcott, but I'm curious how you filled the voids from where you removed the stock rails? Did you have to buy a new trim piece to fill that back in?

yes, if you have a premium or Lux, You need to buy the rain gutter moldings. The OT already has them. costs about $300 for the 4 of them. The part number says Right hand, but both sides are identical

Thank you! Just got me an FE roof rack last week and this was exactly what I needed to know.
