06 Tacoma roof rails

buying an 06 double cab sr5 only thing is those roof rails are ugly and pointless. How can I delete them?

 

Unbolt them, seal the holes with tape, add the black drip rail strips in its place.

You can often get the molding here cheap when people buy and install the roof rack.
Be very careful when you disassemble the rack. Use some penetrating oil on the front screws because they are going through a thin threaded piece of sheet metal and can bind up pretty good. I had to drill mine out and retap. I still have my rack but I ran my light bar wire through the rack into a hole in the roof rail.

Your roof rack is worth money. Used ones are regularly sold here in the buying section for $150 or more.
