Beautiful. Thank you. That is exactaly what i wanted, how long did it take to remove em?
 






About 15 min to remove the rack:D

Just pop each cap off and there's two screws. Remove all of them and the rack. Dab a little silicone on the screws threads and reinsert them. Use some touchup paint on the head to blend them in better and you're done.
 






Is there a certain ft-lb the should be tightened to? I've got to secure mine before I attach my new roof basket....

I tighten them up good and snug, just don't overdo it;)
 






Yeah i intend on using the mounts for the roof rack to mount blocks to attach a basket. This way the basket can be close to the roof an can be the entire roof, not just the on top of the bars.
 






Ditto here, but I'm going to use the rails so the basket can be easily removed.
