2004 Toyota Sequoia - Black Roof Rails

[laefd]

Got a 2004 Toyota Sequoia SUV with the black roof rails up top. How do I keep 'em black and safe from the sun? I've thought about AIO, 303, UPP...what do you use?

I have a 4runner and haven't put anything on them yet. I did remove the cross rails that sit on the paint. I don't get anywater pooling up there and it is easier to wash/wax the roof.

I would go with the 303 Aerospace, it is expensive but I always seem to buy more of it.

I use vm hg on my outbacks rails.

VRT is my new go to for things like that. It leaves them looking new, has a huge amount of UV protection, and one bottle will last through a ton of cars. I highly recommend getting at least a small bottle of it, once you try it, you'll never go back.

Are they plastic or painted metal? Mine are painted metal, so I've been treating them like my paint. AIO, then my current sealant of choice.
