[CarpyDago]

Hi, I'm new to this forum and have just bought a Panda 1.2 dynamic 54 reg. It came with the standard roof bars and I'm wondering if theres anyway to remove them and what i will be left with afterwards

Thanks

What type of roof bars have you got?

All types just unbolt

Remove the plastic end caps, carefully, as you can damage the plastic lugs that hold them in place.
Undo the 4 bolts revealed.
Lift off the bars.
You are now left with 4 threaded holes which require plastic inserts. You can either try to obtain these inserts from a dealer or scrappie. Alternatively, if you no longer want your roof bars, let it be known on this forum and you will receive an avalanche of offers for them. Get the buyer of your roof bars to send his/her plastic inserts back to you.
Job done.

If you dont want the bars and you live near Bournemouth i will take them off your hands.

I'm not sure if they have a name but they're just the ones that come as the added option when first bought

Put me down 1st if you're selling them and you can have my caps to fill the holes

As DoctorChris says above, you will be left with 4 little holes. And yes take them off and give them to someone on here who wants them.

I sold some new ones compleate for £180 a few weeks ago, just to give you an idea of their value

Used, can probably get £100-£140

Put them on eBay we can all have a go at them....

The end caps seem to be on very tight and im worried that im going to damage something. Any tips on how i can take them off

Sorry if I sound like an idiot but I've never had to do this before

Just ease/perswade them off.

iirc when facing the side of the car, place your hands around to the back of the roof bars and try and pull the cover away from where it wraps around the body of the main roof bar
