How to remove roof rack on sport.....

[goodguy021185]

I have a 99 ford explorer sport and would like to remove the roof rack. I don,t see any screws to unscrew it. Does anyone know how to do this.


Thanks

It was quite a while ago since I removed mine, but I believe the racks at each end are screwed down in the channel. Other than that, the rest are riveted in, so you gotta take a drill and drill down into each rivet to "pop" or release its hold. Then, all you are left with is all of the holes in your roof from where the screws and rivets where.
