removing roof rack

[GSX-WE4]

Has anyone removed those clunky roof rack rails on the 07 Tahoe? I wonder if there are any shorter bolts or plugs you could use to fill the holes? Any other options or ideas would be appreciated. Thanks!

I was just wondering why you would want to remove it.

Over the past 20 years we've owned a Blazer, 2 Jimmy's, a Yukon, Trailblazer and now a new LTZ Tahoe. We've never used the roof rack on any of them and I think it just gets in the way while washing and drying the Tahoe. In my own opinion, it adds nothing to the looks of the vehicle.

I removed the cross bars and that helps with the washing/drying issue but it sure would look better without the side bars also.

I have used mine 3 weeks after we bought ours to get furniture pieces from the pottery barn. I also think that if you remove it you could open up possible leak paths if not done right.

On another Tahoe forum, someone welded them in and repainted. Probably not where you wanted to go. Might look in to chrome push-in plugs.
