We have exactly what you need to add a roof rack to your 2018 Toyota Highlander Limited Platinum with a naked roof. The rack that will fit which is the best option for your Highlander is from Rhino-Rack. I really like this rack because it is easily the best value; the quality of the Rhino-Rack roof rack system is the same (or higher) than similar brands, but comes at a better price point.
Adding a Rhino-Rack roof rack to your Highlander gives you a durable, quiet roof rack, but without having to pay a premium just to have a certain brand name stamped on the crossbars. The exact parts that make up the Rhino-Rack roof rack that fit your 2018 Highlander are the following:
- Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars # RRVA126B-2
- RCH Legs for Rhino-Rack Crossbars - Fixed Mounting Points # RRRCH4
- Custom RCP Fit Kit - Fixed Mounting Points # RRRCP37-BK
The fit kit and feet are going to fit easily in the fixed mounting points that are under the four flush-mount access panels you mentioned, and the crossbars will mount directly on the feet. These bars are aerodynamically-shaped and have rubberized vortex strips on top which disrupt the air flow going over the bars, which ensures you have a quiet ride.
They are also strong, with a 165 lb capacity, have top channels for using any channel-mounted accessory you might have, and are so durable they come with a lifetime warranty.
