Question:

Is there an alternative to the landing pad covers? I dont really like the way my vehicle looks without the crossbars in place. Maybe something like low-profile dummy crossbars? Basically something that I can go through a car wash with.

Landing pad covers # Y8890029 are really the only option. You could always uninstall before the wash and reinstall the crossbars after if you don't like the way it looks. You could also stick to brushless car washes where nothing could get caught in the rack. I can't really advise you to go through the car wash with the crossbars on but I can tell you I managed a store with a car wash with brushes for years and this was never an issue.
