Question:
I have a 2025 Toyota Rav4 XSE Hybrid with factory mounted flush rails. The location and spacing of the fixed cross bars is all wrong for what I need to carry. I either need either to replace these rails with raised rails, or find some sort of crossbar that can attached to the flush rails at whatever point I need, so that I can have the correct location/spacing of the cross bars. Is there any product or solution?.

Hey Paula, if you'd be open to going with a raised rail from Toyota on your 2025 RAV4 you could then use a roof rack like the Rhino Rack part # RR82QE but we don't have a super easy solution since we don't have a flush rail rack that would fit and cover what you need. What are you wanting to carry on the rack.

Hey Paula, did you have a chance to look into the raised rail option for your RAV4? I'm curious to know if it helped you carry what you needed. Your experience could really help others in a similar situation.
