    Anyone know where to get the yellow plastic OEM clip, at the front of the roof rails?
    Apparently it's required for the front to sit flush to the roof, and is impossible to achieve with other common clips because they're too thin, don't grab/bite as well, etc.

    resulting in a gap letting wind and water in at the front of the rail,
    where it rises up due to not being held down with a good clip

    You’ve probably got it installed by now, but I’ve found these clips and they work!! Did the install this weekend.

    The yellow plastic Toyota clip might be part number 90080-46314.

    (I'm pretty sure that's the same clip used on a number of roof rack end caps, including those on my 2008 Lexus RX.)

    Yeah, that looks like it could be it! Great find. In most of the threads I found, nobody seemed to know what it was so I got my own that worked. Actually the ones I linked were a tighter fit and could be cheaper depending on where you order from. I ended up getting all new M6.1 stainless Torx hardware from belmetric and some crimp connectors so in my case it was worth it. I get to say I’m using Tesla parts now too ;)
