I think the guy with the dental tools complicated things.....I actually found that pulling back and slightly twisting from side to side popped the cover right off.I then proceeded to install cross bars from my wife's 2007 Rav-4 Sport!Ya I know,I'm cheap but it's a perfect fit!Buy the way, to remove the rear cover on the Rav rack, simply required carefully prying up on the back of the cover with a wide blade(I used a small crow bar)be sure to protect the paint where you pry with a towel.
Thank you, thank you. This is the information I have been looking for. If the 2007 Rav4 crossbar would fot the RX450H (I'm sure it's the same as RX) thank you again 1,000,000 times.
