Review on Roof Rack Cross Bars For Toyota Highlander 2008-2013, Aluminum Luggage Rail Racks, Cargo Carrier Bars by Steven Loy

Bought for an 08' Toyota Highlander. Installation is a little tricky so read the instructions but definitely search YouTube for installation videos, and keep looking till you find the one where the guy has measured out the release points for the rail covers. I used an 8' wonder bar to slide under the cover than after making the release point I wiggled the bar and pried up. The broad thin base of the wonder bar was a great help but the video was key. The front and back covers have different release points and that's how I snapped off a bit of the plastic rail cover. A drop of superglue and a coat of flat black spray paint fixed the issue ( see photo). Its far easier to install one set of bars from each end than it would ever be to try and slide a set the length of the rails. The max distance between rails is about 3' and load limit if "properly loaded" is 150 lbs. Maybe but I would never put that kind of weight on those bars.
