I've only seen pictures but I reckon it bolts to the rack mounting points and folds into the factory roof ribs, I doubt they'd produce a different roof just for the rack option (could be wrong) so wouldve thought you can unbolt it Put bolts back in the mounting holes with a touch of sealant on the thread or you could end up with leaks !

Could you post some close piccies of the rack system please

[Rapidcool]

Will do once I pick it up,unless the dealer decides to remove them as he hasn't included them in the price

When you see it you'll probably leave it on, it's quite impressive but very simple. Could be handy one day?
I didn't spec it but glad it came fitted to my dciv.

Thanks Warren It does look very neat and as I've said it does look like it can be removed or added IMHO I don't think it would be man enough for people who use there racks day in day out but the odd off/on with a ladder or materials etc then it's a very handy system

I haven't used it yet Rich, no noise with it down.

That's good news was wondering if you got the dreaded roof rack drone with it on, tried one on a trafic for one day it's now in the garage.

I picked my custom up in feb and the roof bars were not on. If anyone does remove then I would be willing to purchase

[sladeyboy1]

Im due to have my custom sport delivered in March and it does not come with the roof bars which I really want. All the garages (inc the ford garage I am buying it from) tell me it is factory fitted only. Is this true and if not where can I purchase these from?

Thanks in advance
