If I have a base model 2013 Highlander, do I need to make any modifications, or can I just buy this rack system and install?

I didn't have to make any modifications on my base model 2011 highlander. The instructions weren't super but it is really straightforward to install. I have really liked this system since I bought it last summer.

Buy and install. Did it myself, put it together in the garage and installed in and hour or so,

you don't need any modifications at all. this rack fits perfectly to the 2013 Highlander base model.

yes, this rack system installed very well with out any modifications on my 2013 base model highlander.

All you will need to do is install the rack system. No modifications needed to the roof to install.

I wouldn't think you have to mod your rack unless it has a back rest. The Givi rack, will mount on top of your rack via brackets and screws. If you have a backrest, there may be another bracket and hardware. Good luck

I know they fit great on my 2013. However, not sure on 2014 as I believe the highlander got redesigned with the 2014 model.

Best to check with your dealer as to whether there were any design changes that affect the roof rack. This rack does fit my 2012 model and sofar I have had no noise or any other problems with instillation or use.

Hi Andre, you will need to see our "buyer's guide" for the recommended Thule roof rack system for your vehicle. The crossbars are separate to this product, but both are compatible. Thanks!

I would say it is extremely likely as the chassis is the same between the Sienna and the Highlander. Check to see if your vehicle takes the same filter cartridge as the Highlander- if is does then you have a match and it will work perfectly!

Not sure. When you order from Amazon they have a spot you can enter your car, year, trim... And it will filter out parts that are incompatible. Hope this helps. We use ours for a 2013 highlander. As long as it has the 7" screen it should (bad word) be fine. It will be the actual camera that fits each model specifically. Good luck!

I installed the cross bars on my 2013 Highlander and they fit well. Remember to watch the Youtube video on how to remove the cover plates at ends. 30 seconds each to remove once you figure it out. The rest of it is intuitive. The written instruction war not legible. I am about to get on a long road trip and road test the rack with a soft luggage bag. Good luck

Don't know for sure, but since it is the same body style I would assume the rails would be the same. Look at your rails, there should be two bolt holes front and rear on both rails. The bars bolt into these holes so the roof rack is not adjustable. Hope this helps.John

I have a 2013 Highlander, and the bottom picture is the correct fit. that is if you have the 3rd row seat, it maybe the top one for that application.

It does not. The highlander was redesigned in 2006 and this only fits the newer model.

Yes, the cross bars are designed so they can be adjusted to various widths. When I installed then on my 2013 Highlander I took off only the front end caps and slide the both bars into the side bar tracks. Once they are in the tracks you tighten them down with the thumb screws. Important, be very careful when taking off the end caps, searched You Tube for video's.

As far as I'm aware, nothing changed on the rear door config, which is where this goes, so you should be ok. I have a 2013, and it took 5 minutes to install. Word of warning...the bags pop off when you actually do any meaningful off-roading.

No, according to the westin site query, this model is not compatible with the 2012 Highlander.

Have no experience with Highlander. I put them in the dash of a Subaru Crosstrek with a slight enlargement of the mounting space. They filled in the midranges which were lacking. Good Luck.

It worked perfectly on my 2014 Tacoma. I do not know about the Highlander, but see no reason why it wouldn't work just as we'll.

It would look nice on your Highlander, a bit small for my Suburban. I did make up my own mounting hardware as the supplied mounts were made of plastic. It now is mounted on my off road buggy and I love it.
