bxpete Posted March 17, 2010 Report Share Posted March 17, 2010 Does anyone know how to remove the factory roof racks? I have no use for them and want a cleaner/sportier look. All help with detail would be greatly appreciated!! Thanks!!!! It's pretty simple: pop off the outer shell of the bracket (the curved part that connects to the roof), there are two screws per bracket that screw directly into the roof. Remove the screws and off comes the bracket. Repeat for the remaining 3 brackets. One problem though - you can't just remove the roof rails and leave it at that. The 2 black trim strips that run the full length of the roof (the flat strip that the rails bolt down through) will need to be replaced with the plain strips without the bracket mounting points. You'll also have to seal the holes in the roof from the bracket screws. I know all this because I was going to remove my roof rails also - until I found out the dealer wants 50 bucks each for the replacement trim strips. Not worth it to me...

eNo Posted March 24, 2014 Report Share Posted March 24, 2014 Nothing looks sexier than an edge with a full roof rack system and fairing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mirage52 Posted March 24, 2014 Report Share Posted March 24, 2014 How much for the trim strips? Not looking to make much off them...as long as shipping is paid for since I bet it'd be around $15 to ship. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
