08 Roof Rack cross rails

Anyone installed the cross rails themselves??

I printed out the instructions and the statement regarding "the caps can be easily damaged" has me worred a bit

How easy is it to pop off the caps??

i know the 4 runners will be damaged .. but just a clip under the cap if u try to take them off.. but still can be reinstalled without it falling off

the highlander has a lesser chance of breaking since they dont havea hook that hooks in during installation.

you should be able to pop them off with little damage.. if any

Do you have a yearly or monthly subscription? Or do you do daily, and get everything you need at once?

They are very easy to put on, I had to do one last week, it got skipped doing the PDI.

So what do you need to remove the end caps?

Do you start prying on the back end, inside edge, outside edge
