You cant REALLY remove the roof bars, they a factory option thats meant to be there for ever, but we saw one earlier that didnt have them, and looked WAY cooler, so we took (ie forced

) them off.
Prised the plastic covers off the allen key bolts, then after a LOT of effort with levering with screwdrivers all 8 bolts came out.
But then the centres wouldnt, and there no bolts there, turns out they riveted
A bit of pursuasion (ie twist it like fuck

) snapped one of the 2 rivets either side, and then hacksawed the other off.
Job done
Roofs not too damaged
Looks loads better now
