unscrew the philips screws on the ends of the rails, they hold on plastic covers that you can pull off (unsnap with force). Once pulling covers, it will reveal bolts that actualy hold on the roof rails. Un bolt those - and the rails should come off. Replace with covers. Don't worry about breaking the covers of the bolts when first unscrewing - they are very sturdy - and worse comes to worse, you can just get more at the dealer.

equinox-thanks a lot...i kinda figured that but...i was afraid of breaking the covers...just like you said...
z585 it is possible to take the luggage rack completely off. Take the APC project Protege 5. They are completely shaved and painted over. I have recently been thinking about doing this myself. I talked to the body shop at the dealer and they said it would cost $400 to do the job. I am thinking I can get it done cheaper elsewhere though. Hold it down. Peace.

I'd like to know if you do get those rails off. I was hoping I could do it without major body shop involvement, but it looks like they need to fill in some parts. At least some rubber right?
