Thanks! Can you tell me the size of the bolt which attaches the rack to the roof bolt?

Has anyone removed the OEM drilled through the roof rack? What do you use to plug the holes?

A Mini Cooper I am looking at has the drilled in rack attached. I don't need nor want the rack - I have two other vehicles to haul my crap in / on.

Thanks for any suggestions -

Bill

Hopefully you have 4 of these covers (if you have a white roof).https://www.ecstuning.com/b-genuine-...h/82790140916/ or the corresponding black ones for a black roof. They just snap on.
