The cross rails seem to this OEM set...

I tried looking for the clamps - not much about. You might get lucky at a wreckers...

TBH, they don't look like the most aerodynamics set up - you might be better off just buying a newer set of rails.

I appreciate you looking into it! Unfortunately I haven’t seen many E53’s being parted out with this specific roof rack. And even so, it’d probably be a stretch for them to part with just the clamps/brackets.
Very strange they don’t sell them separately anywhere......??
Buying a new rack for $175-$200+ just doesn’t make sense for me, as I don’t want one that bad. I just happened to have it, having had it come with the car, and wanted to try them out and see if I like the “look”.
It would be a damn shame to conclude that the rack and attachments I do have are basically scrap metal without these clamps/brackets to attach to the actual roof rails.


...anyone?
