How to remove your roof rack.

[SOLISIMO]

I though I'd post this for those looking to do this mod.

It's a ten minute job - you need a flat blade screwdriver and a #27 torx driver. Insert the screwdriver under the rearmost edge of the rear plastic caps on the rack (between the cap and the rubber base) and lift up. The cap will pop off. Repeat for all four caps (screwdriver under the front most edge on the front caps.) FYI. the cap faces outward.

Remove the two torx screws under each cap.

Slide the entire rack rearward to disengage the keyhole locks on the center mount.

Re-install the removed screws, with some rubber washers underneath (the nut-serts are through holes). If you are not going to mount another rack, consider more thorough sealing against water.

Im glad it helped. Maybe they can sticky this so it doesnt get lost.

Good to know, does anyone know why the factory set up is not chrome sided on a king ranch but is on a limited. Really aggravates me. I like the way the chrome sides look, just the little detail.

Thanks for the great instructions. My bolts ended up being #25 torx bit for some reason ‍. Used teflon tape for the threads, and made a rubber washer gasket out of some aviation chafe tape (silicon self-bonding tape) I have from work.
