    is it easy to go back to stock if you have the roof gaskets? Anything else i would need ot go back to stock?

    Looking at the install manual you need to break off a plastic piece toward the front of the truck. Can those be removed complete from a vehicle without a roof rack?

    thanks

    I just did this. The rack is very easy to take off, just follow the instructions in reverse. I got lucky with the clips, whoever installed mine left the clips intact, so check that first before you worry about it.

    The one word of caution i will give is that depending on how long the rack was installed, there is a good chance your paint is slightly damaged. I had lines on my roof from the outline of the rack. it will take some major buffing to get them out, if they come out.
