    Hello, I was wondering what are the easiest bars to remove for my 5th gen? I want to be able to put them on and take my kayaks with me when I go camping then quickly remove them when I get home. My wife and I don’t like how they look just driving around. (I would if I was making it look offroadable but it just a blacked out 2wd limited nightshade that my wife drives and it’s sort of “clean” looking and the cross bars take away from that. Honestly I’d remove the side bars if I could and just have a clean roofline. )
    I don’t want those foam pad ones that just sit on the paint and strap to the door jamb as I don’t want to mess the finish up with them rubbing on the paint. Cars are expensive and I’m trying to make it look good as long as possible.
    Thanks

    4 bolts per side to remove the whole rack. Don't recall who sells the whole delete kit.
