They are mentioned in the manual, but no explanation for use and doubt they have to be that long.

Has anyone put a Thule bag on the top? Is it advisable to remove both stoppers? Even without the stoppers the bag will go over one of the crossbars. How has it worked for you?

I have a new RX and just purchased a Thule cargo bag. I notice that the crossbars are much too close together so I would like to take out the rubber stoppers when I use the bag.

I was removing the cross rails in the dark. Thought I had to completely remove the thumb screws. After some trial and error I figured out the cross rails had to slide out the back. One problem wasI did not put the thumb screws back in and lost the backing nut the thumb screws thread into. Similar to another member who was looking to replace a thumb screw I now need the backing nut. Any ideas?

I just wanted to move/adjust my cross bars last weekend. Unfortunately, they're fastened so tight I can't get them loose. Yikes. Didn't think I was THAT weak...
