Tucson roof rack removal (partial)

I'd strip off the antenna too.

I don't recall looking at one of these in a while. If it's similar to the '01-'06 Santa Fe, there's a locking that must be turned. Then, a tab can be lifted to remove the crossbar.

Thanks, I saw the tab but it didn't want to move, though now I recall I didn't push on it just before I put everything back together.

I want to try to get it back to this configuration:

Don't forget the side mirrors they are good for another mile per gallon.

Usually, the lock needs to be turned with a tool. Often, the tool is in the glove box in a plastic bag.

Got it, ditto the antenna. After the roof rack I'm going to pry off the metal logos and side trim. And that front license plate is definitely a goner. I also make sure it's washed and waxed, definitely disrupts the air flow going over all those bumps of dirt. Bug goop on the windshield too.

OK, you win, I laughed so hard I wet my pants. Hope you get your cross members off .
