to remove the rails it take 10min.used 10mm socket and T40 tox and the cover plugs got it from LOWES hardware.

total cost $ 6.49 + 10min of my time.

it done from the out side ( on top of the roof )
get your self up there and pop out the plastic cover the nuts and screws then use the T40 tox and 10mm socket it can be done in 10min. - 15min.

Tom,

I have been researching the roof rail delete way back when alpinem6 did his with the imola red......one pic i have not yet seen is the actual close upof the top of the roof with the plugs in it.....when you get a chance could you post a few pics of close up of what it looks like with the plugs in from ontop.......Since I have titanium silver I want to be sure that the plugs look ok or I might go with what Justin did on his (he used the plastic adhesive covering they use so your paint will no chip due to road rash....)

Thanks!!

RR
