Default Roof Rack Removed

Has anyone removed their roof rack? How much did it cost to have the dealer remove it? I think the vehicle would look better without it. Does anyone have any photos they can post?

I removed mine by myself. All of us that did it had to buy extra roof rubber moldings to cover up the holes though. I hate roof racks so I'm the complete opposite of RSXF.

Tell us where you bought the rubber moldings, are they exact fit?. Thanks.

I'd be interested too, although I'm not sure I'd go full-bore on this. I removed the cross bars and am happy with that. I'm just not sure I'd like the look without the rails, particularly since I have the XM antenna lurking back there. That said, CK6Speed's rig looked awesome...especially with the painted-to-match roof spoiler.

Great find....the cover is steep......makes me think twice. Maybe I will just remove the crossbars and try it out, since they have replaced my crossbars, now it is a breeze to take it out. Though my service tech ruined one of the covers, he tried to pry it out, instead of the propoer way of yanking it out....sob!
