Everything you need to know is in this thread, including part numbers.

I will warn you WARN in capital letters, that I had a BITCH of a time getting the end caps off, and that was after reading every thread I could find on the subject.
I now have a very small dent in my roof for my effort.
After that the cut off wheel came out and I cut the tops off the farkers and then trimmed the sides to get to the hardware.....
180 bucks in caps is cheaper than a dent repair and refinishing.
All you need for parts is the 4 caps, 4 brackets, and the 8 replacement bolts that are shorted and include the gaskets. The bolts are what keep the water out. Parts can be found online, should run you about 60 bucks on the low side, 70 on the high side.

Got my rear bumper protector from my local dealer who beat the ebay price with my Costco discount.

I thought that I would try my local dealer first ref those sill guards. Guess what? They are yet another part that Toyota New Zealand don't import.:frown
So yet again I have to import the items that I want from the U.S.A. myself. Ok it's easy as but I like to go into a shop and see items in the raw and not
only on a computer screen. That rather shows my age doesn't it ? :laugh:laugh
Well I ordered them on the 29th March and they arrived this morning 2nd April - well a big thanks to Amazon as there original quote was 15th April. They are now installed.

Nope! It show's that you're a connoisseur and particular in what you purchase with your money. ?

These are the ones available at Canadian dealers. I prefer the look of these to the ones linked to above. Can't link directly but they are under interior accessories. They were installed on mine when I bought it so I got them free. WooHoo! Was worried the stainless steel would scratch over time from sand etc but they look good as new a few years later. Bit of a price difference though.
