Bolts should go into your roof. Unscrew them and take off the roof racks, if doing this outside and it may take a few hours id cover the top of your car to prevent anything from getting inside.

These can often be had at a wrecking yard for $30 or so. Get a newer set off an '05 at least. Up to 2010 may even work.

Save you time over repainting and the hassle of having the wind just strip your new paint off.
