I always thought the roof rack was a positive from a looks standpoint - I wish my 2009 had the roof rack even if I rarely had any use for it. Well some are leg men and some are attracted to racks so you know what side of the stream I fish from.

I have done it. I took the rails off and then put them back on. There are some roof caps available to cover the area where the rails were. If you want to completely remove the rails, you will need to get these caps. The white clips are to reinstall the rails, I don't know if you need them for the caps.

I am confused. What is $300 each. The roof rack pieces, or the caps. Would not the caps be available from Toyota?
