PVC hanging on chains. The PVC pipe is the actual clearance marker.

I never understood why everyone talks about it begin so difficult. Mine came right off in a matter of seconds when I installed my GOBI. Popped the access covers off and slid the rails back...done!

Didn't work,I have an SUT and they don't have the clip like SUVs. I had to take the corner marker assemblies of in rear to remove. The crazy thing is that I find out after bars were removed that I did not have to remove them after all. To tighten up your crossbars all you have to do is unlock and take caps off the end you want to tighten, lift up the black rubber strip on the top of crossbar and the Torx screw heads can be accessed from the top. All is good now, no more rattling of crossbars over potholes.
