I was wondering if anyone has taken their roof rack off on the new body style and what they used to cover holes etc?

yup i took mine right off! i got a 2017 Fsport! its pretty easy just remove the plastic covering and access the screws and then it make the grips looser and then just wiggle them off

Did you just pop off the plastic covering? As in screwdriver lift straight up?

If anyone here who removed their roof rails and want to get rid of them please let me know and I will gladly buy it (You can PM me)

My 4RX is a base model and it did not come with roof rails

Thanks

nas2344

they provide the tools to remove em

aznkorboi

Interesting. Who does? The dealer never provided me with any tools or instructions to remove the roof rails?

nas2344

all the tools and instructions were in my glove box, I bought a new 2017 RX

aznkorboi

whoa crazy! That's cool. ANy chance you can send some pics of the instructions if it's not too much trouble?

I think the OP is talking about the roof rail removal . . . .your PDF is talking cross bar removal.

Can someone post a pic with them off? Preferably a white one :-)

Does anyone know how to, or if they have done so already, removing the silver roof rails?

Is it like this?

I tried prying it off but I couldn't do it and was afraid it would break.

Just want to remove the silver part so I can plasti dip it black haha

Thanks

So your just removing them to "paint" them...should have no problem. I would be careful that nothing falls into the headliner when you remove the bolts....I don't even know if there is a nut under there...just saying watch out incase.

Didn't want to tape and "paint" on the vehicle ??

SO I tried that yesterday. It was very difficult to get the inner part of the roof rail with the plasti dip spray and today when I was washing my car, the whole thing just peeled right off haha.

I think I'm going to try one more time tomorrow and make sure I get full coverage on both sides somehow. I tried to pry off the roof rails and man it wouldn't budge. So I didn't want to break anything
