cool mod, i think the imola red guy from seattle did the roof rail delete before. How hard is it to remove it? Cool gauges! very nice!

to remove the rails it take 10min.used 10mm socket and T40 tox and the cover plugs got it from LOWES hardware.

total cost $ 6.49 + 10min of my time.

it done from the out side ( on top of the roof )
get your self up there and pop out the plastic cover the nuts and screws then use the T40 tox and 10mm socket it can be done in 10min. - 15min.:thumbup:

Tom,

I have been researching the roof rail delete way back when alpinem6 did his with the imola red......one pic i have not yet seen is the actual close upof the top of the roof with the plugs in it.....when you get a chance could you post a few pics of close up of what it looks like with the plugs in from ontop.......Since I have titanium silver I want to be sure that the plugs look ok or I might go with what Justin did on his (he used the plastic adhesive covering they use so your paint will no chip due to road rash....)

Thanks!!
