Need to remove them so I can get the car in the garage.

Might be easier to lower the garage floor.

Headlinings never sit the same after removing/peeling back.

Is it the door on the garage that's the problem? I had a series 3 wagon with a roof rack\roll bar, that would not fit under a tilt a door. I adjusted the door hinges and straightened the door inside handle to fit the Landy under.

I don't know it this helps but it might.

Or let your tyres down...

It is far easyer to cut them off with an angle grinder and epoxy rubber caps to the holes. Then get guter mounted racks for when you need racks.

yes I am serious.

Or if you have SLS you can get your dealer to reprogram the slabs unit to drop the rear on its ar@e.

All ready fitted a new roller door to fit the last car (Pajero ) after fitting larger tyres. Looks like it stays out side for a bit, til I work out how to lower the floor.

Hi,

I've removed my roof rails on our 2003 TD5 Disco in order to fit a split level rack and despite my nervousness it really wasn't that hard

There are destructions here

and my own experience here

am happy to give help/more detailed descriptions if it would help

cheers, Andy

Thanks Andy. Ive decided that by parking the Zook in the Garage there is far more room and our house looks far nicer with a Disco parked outside. Oh and its far less work.

hey Andy that tradesman roof rack looks the goods. How much are they? Do you get much more fuel consumption or wind noise?

Ian.
