Roof rails removable?

Im looking around at CTT's and some have the roof rail options and some dont. I prefer the look without them and I dont want to eliminate a potential option just because of the roof rails.

Is it possible to remove the rail system without leaving any holes etc? Does it just integrate into the built in tracks?

Thanks

Simply unbolt them - they affix to the tracks as you suspected.

I installed roof rails on mine. You just need to remove 2 torque screws per rail and they come right off. The screws are hidden behind a silver rubber plug that is facing the center of the roof. Removal time should take you 5 min max.

Is there any "delete" plates to cover the mounting points after removal. Earlier owner seems to have removed roof rails from mine. Don´t really miss them...

I am mixed on whether I like they better on or off. Most of the highly modded vehicles have them removed. What is the cost to add them new vs used?

I just had the dealer remove mine during the 60k maintenance..he didn't charge anything, its as simple as unbolting them.
