I bought my truck with these Thule crossbars already installed. These bars are drilled into the roof and not installed using the gutter mounts. I'm looking at going the Prinsu route but I need to know the best way to remove these bars. The Thule website didn't help much and online content is little to none. I'm not even sure how to access the screws/bolts. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated. I'll even throw in the Thule bars if you want them. Thanks.

I’d leave them as, unless you are prepared to take truck to body shop to get holes filled in.

Did you get the key for the Thule when you bought the truck?
