Would either of you be able to tell me what size spline bit is needed to remove the bolts for the bars?

Re: Removing roof rails
Hello, have just found the bolts from my old roof bars, and can't for the life of me find the tool I removed the bars with. It's obviously a torx drive of some sort or similar, but none of mine fit. From memory I think I was round my mate's place when I took mine off and probably used something out of his garage.
Sorry!
Sorry!

Re: Removing roof rails
Hi I’m just trying to remove my caddy maxi roof bars exactly the same. I’ve removed end pieces and bolts but they won’t shift . No caps for screw in middle how do you release ?

@Bad666 - The middle cover pulls out away from the vehicle.

Re: Removing roof rails
Could somebody please post a picture of the roof rack mounting area when OE roof rack is removed? Thanks.
