Removal of roof rack?

My 2016 Tacoma came with a roof rack, an item I will never use. (I had one on my 2004 4Runner, and it was never used.)

I'm wondering what sort of deal it is to remove the factory roof rack and what I might find underneath it...clean, pristine blue paint? A mess? Some sort of sticky tape? I have no idea how to remove it even for an inspection.

Any advice? Thanks!

 

It should be a bolt on. You should see paint underneath. People in the trade/sell thread will pay you good $$ for it.

 

If I'm not mistaken, you'll need to get new weather strips once the rack is removed. Those aren't dirt cheap, but you'll certainly come out on top if you sell your rack.

 

It's a few bolts, will need to buy some trim to fill in the channel. Let me know if you want to sell it, if the price is right I'll take it.

 

If you are willing to sell i'd like to get a chance to buy them.
