So the RX330 I recently bought from a Lexus dealer has some damage to one side of the roof rack.

Working withe the dealer to sort out a fix. the drivers side is cracked near the front mount and looks like some damage is possible to the front cross bar where it intersects with the drivers side rail.

So i am wondering what this will entail to fix. I know it depends on the extent of the damage. I am going to say to fix it right the whole drivers side rail and the front cross bar are needing replaced.

Would like some thoughts on this. The Lexus is a 2006 model.

I would replace the the mount or rail. Remove the cross rail and replace with an aftermarket alternative like yakima or thule

Imagine if the crack is serious enough it will need to be replaced if you intend on using it..
