OK I got my cross bars out from the rear. Took off the plastic cover. As decribed above you have to pull up about 4 mm then pull back and it will come out. Squeezing low as you pull up will help.
Cross bars slide right out after you take out one screw.
I did break one plastic tab which I superglued in place them epoxied the base (stronger than before).
To make it easier to reinstall I pulled out the yellow plug and slide that into the cover then the whole piece just goes in with a snap.
PS It looks much better without, should be quieter at high speeds.
Can you explain again how to take off the end caps? Are the tabs at the bottom of the caps (where they meet the car top?) I was able to get mine up about 1/8 inch. Thanks
