Cross bar removal - Toyota Sienna 2006-2010

1.) Remove both rack attachments at the rear of the roof rack. Careful when removing the covers not to break any of the clips.
2.) Good time to clean the parts and around the area where they will be reinstalled
3.) Loosen the cross bars and slide them out the back being mindful not to scratch the roof when they come out. Standing on the bumper worked for me.
4.) Reinstalled the factory end caps. Careful not to over tighten the main bolts.
5.) Store the bars out of the way in a place you can find them when time comes to sell the vehicle.

I wasn't planning on making a video but right before I buttoned it all back up I figured it could help someone. And my new round Yakima bars make much more noise. Need to buy the windjammer now. The Yakima Skybox 21 will now have plenty of clearance when it gets thrown up there. The clamps were like a 1/4 inch from roof without gear.
