Removing roof rack 04 Sequoia

[antera]

I'm managing a 9-unit apartment. A new tenant has a 2004 Sequoia. With the roofrack crossbars removed, the roof rack rails are about 1/2" too tall to clear the carport's lowest horizontal beam--approx 74" off pavement.

Does anyone know how to temporarily remove the roof rack? (not just the crossbars). I talked to one Toyota dealer service guy who said the front trim of the roofrack usually breaks when attempting to remove it. I would imagine the service manual describes how, but I'd rather not buy just to find this out....

thanks
