Did you encounter any issues removing the rack? I've seen another post saying that they may have a plate that could fall into the headliner once you remove the bolts. Could you describe the process please. I'm taking delivery next month and I want to fit a full roof rack.
Looks awesome in the Blue my GF wanted black. I gave in.

During the xmas break I put the 2019 basket rack back on the Pro, and took out the 2011 Trail rack for painting. I primed it and painted it. In fact I installed back the Trail rack today but unfortunately did not take any pics.
In short, I did not see anything that falls inside the roof panel.... not today nor in the past.
There are two mounting designs among the 5th Gen 4runners.
1) 2010-2013 Trail, and now 2019 Pro has the same mounting design. This design places a metal bracket between the rack and the room panel. Not counting the rubber piece in the middle here. Inside the room panel, for each side (front, rear, left, right) there are two short plastic cylinders coming out where the bolts would go in. The one bracket I mentioned sits around these cylinders. You then put the rack in place which sits perfectly inside the room panel cavity where the cylinders and the bracket is. I do not see anything inside the panel that falls out or gets lost within the roof panel. The bolts uses a "*" type socket. I bought thin rubber washer from Lowes that goes on the bolts. When you take out the bolts, the cheap washers mounted by the factory will rip and you can not save them.
2) The remaining all trims in any years between 2010 and 2019 has a second mounting design which is very simple compared to the one I explained above. straight bolts and regular socket. a thick rubber washer is used by toyota which can be reused. no special bracket sits in between the rack and cylinders that accept the bolts.
i hope this helps.

By * did you mean torx ? If so what size? I’m removing my pro rack next week and I’d love to know if I need any special tooling. Thanks so much.

Finally I ordered from another dealer and used the last 8 if a VIN on an inventory model to get the order placed. Now I’m just hoping that it does indeed fit as it will be a pain to return if it doesn’t.
Based on your pictures (thanks btw they’re great) it looks like it should. Ppl don’t like the rack but I had an FJ and I really liked how it looked so I totally dig it.

How much did you pay for the 2019 pro rack ?

I too liked it on my FJ but I just don't think it flows well on the 4Runner.

There is a bracket that holds a pair of nuts (and plastic cylinder you see coming through the roof) under the roof. This can break off as it is probably tac welded to the roof. Will post a pic of what happened to mine and what the bracket looks like.
FYI I was taking off my factory 19trdp basket. My guess is that is the same for all 5th gens.

@ niadh0
... question.
Is it just the metal bracket that's different? I see the same plastic cylinders in some youtube videos of non-pro non-trail roof rack deletes ...
Thx

the 2010-2013 and 2019 comes with the same type of bolts (with black heads as the heads stay exposed) where you need a '*' type of socket for taking the bolts out... where as the rest of trims (2010-2019) the bolts come with 10mm/12mm regular socket type bolts.... but the size, thickness, and the thread patterns are exactly the same.
long story short, no issues, the pattern for holes in the roof is identical across all trims 201-2019

How are the bolts holding up on your 2010-2013 trail rack? I have one on my truck and one of them got stripped. Because they're round on the outside (instead of a bolt), it was a huge PITA to get the thing out, eventually got it out by dremeling a slot (got a tip from a member on here with that idea which saved my ass) and using vice grips to turn a giant flathead screwdriver in the new slot. The metal in the bolts is so soft, once it starts to strip, it's a nightmare. So use caution going forward!

I believe the bracket under the roof is same in all trims.
