help me.! :( luggage racks?
hi everyone. i just bought a preowned mini today, 2009 cooper s. it has luggage racks. long story short, the seller said he'd take them off for me whenever he had a chance but not today because he was busy. he said all i needed was a screwdriver. but no. i got home, googled about it, it seems that i need the keys it was installed with. i saw a lot of videos & websites explaining how to install them, but when it comes to removing them, not many. then i read it would leave holes :( the car looks brand new. i wouldn't want to start damaging it already. is there any other way to take off the racks without hurting the car.? please someone tell me there is.! thank you so much for reading my question.

If you do a search on NAM, you will find a pretty good thread that has a lot of info about these racks. Take a look for it as it may cover other questions you may have.
Hope this helps.

thank you for replying to me.!
i really thought it wouldn't be so hard to take off these racks.
i'm glad they wont leave holes. i kept loooking & saw that in fact, it's attached to little slots & some of the black rubber barrier was taking off to place them on the roof. i'll make sure to follow your instructions on taking them off.
now my only issue is that i don't have the key. i couldn't see any brand name on the racks, all i saw was on the key slots, a "610" engraved on them. i hope i can find the keys on ebay or something because i doubt the dealership has them, & i'm sure a regual screwdriver wont unlatch the covers. if i can't get them to unlatch, how can i even dismantle them in the first place.? :(
thank you for taking the time to help me out. i appreciate it a lot.
