Roof Rack Mounting Hardware

thingiverse

I bought crossbars and roof basket for my 2018 Toyota Highlander. https://amzn.to/46cljUM All looked great until I looked at the mounting hardware. The roof rack I bought expected that you could move the crossbars to align with the rack, mine were fixed. The other problem was that the hardware as designed would have bolts and wingnuts sticking up into the storage area which I figured would make short work of the bag, tearing holes in it. I redesigned the plastic parts to allow it to either use one centered bar or two bars of the basket. I also designed two plastic parts that gave me the option to turn the hardware upside down. If you want to continue to use the hardware in the original orientation but need to grip one centered bar print centeredmount.stl. If, like me you prefer to use the hardware upside down print the two other stl. I used petg as it is relatively good outside. I drove two hours each way to and from the New Jersey shore in August and it held up just fine but I can't say how well it would hold up to days in the hot sun as I removed the basket when not traveling. It would probably be fine but I would keep the original parts in my car just in case.
