Any Tips for getting stubborn roof bars off?

Jewelia · Jan 20, 2015

Trying to get my roof bars off so I can park in one of those stupidly tiny city centre car parks tonight. Looking at it it looked an easy job. I have slid the first one along to the middle where the gap widens and they should just lift out......but NO.....any ideas

Paul, would you like to kindly nudge him over to the correct section first. Courtesy and all that.

Skoda......i think not nor a freelander. I have a Disco 3 series. Taking them off so I can get in height wise. Probaby due to the fact I've not had my weetabix this morning

Neither are we

oops soz yes you're right. I guess in my mind the way I look at it is that I'm posting on a landrover site therefore I'm talking about a land rover. Introducing myself was next on my list which I have done briefly ;-) Just frustrated with the roof bars...... as Terry said probably clogged with muck
