I would like to remove my 3rd gen. roof rack but I am not sure how best to cover the holes in the roof. I have noticed some folks have plastic strips in place of the rails. They look OE, but my dealer cannot find them in their computer. Any suggestions? Part Numbers? What have you tried with success? Thanks!

 

I think I'd just take off the rack and leave on the rails. If you just have to take off the rails, just silicone up the holes as most folks aren't that tall to see them anyway and the silicone should seal them up tight. If you ever need them again, you can always just screw the bolts into the silicone and be good to go again.

 

I have the trim strips, but no roof rack. Perhaps we could work out some form of a trade?

 

I'd leave the side rails there, and just remove the middle ones.
