It is cake....just remove the phillip screws on the end of the racks...pop off the plates and get a a 10 or 12 mm wrench, remove the bolts on the roof rack and pull off the rack...it is easy as 1, 2, 3...

I'm debating removing my "roof rack" also... what do you think looks better, with or without?


Later, speedbump

PS. I just sold my VW Jetta GL!
My dealer offered me $50.00 for it.
They lose, I gain, I sold it for $2500.00 (one day)

I think the pro5 looks good with or without the rack. But I don't use it at all and the wind noise is gone without them, so it is a no brainer for me.

I think it looks much sportier without the rack, plus, I would never use the racks, so it is just useless for me to have it on there..


I give it without the rack
