you can easily remove it. Pop the plastic end caps, unscrew the mounts and put the screws back into the holes. They will be invisible unless directly overhead basically.
depending on the mounts, you might be able to cover them up w/ additional black trim.
If it is that close that the factory rack makes the difference, I would not go into the garage! They are not accurate many times. They often get much lower in sections or b/c of pipes.

I am having the same problem, MAYBE. The garage I am renting is so close to the height of the GX I am just not sure if it will fit. My garage is like 77 inches, the GX is so close to that. With the roofrack it might go over the top and definitely not fit. Might have to remove the roofrack.

I had mentioned this to the dealer a couple of times, but he never suggested taking it home (we are not that far) and I never thought of it until I saw it here after we placed our order. Is this often done, or is it something the customer has to push?
Anyhow, I was able to get it into the garage on the first very slow try and I now do it several times a day. There is at least an inch of clearance on each side!

Saved me a lot of trouble and money by passing on the RX.
