Are these bars easily removable, or are they meant to be permanent? Have they affected your gas mileage?

Very easy to remove and install. One tool that is provided and two screws which synch them to your roof rack. Gas mileage isn't an issue.

I have not noticed any difference in my Fuel Economy and although I have not removed them, they are simply removed with a Subaru allen key that comes with them.

Pretty easy to remove, only a few minutes for each rack (I don't leave mine on the car either). However, these things "howl" at about 45mph and are awful at 60/65 mph (at least on my car).

Removal? Can't really answer that question but I'm fairly sure you can remove them without doing damage. There is only 2 strips of double stick tape holding them on. That was the only concern I had, if it would stay on with so little sticking power. After six months they're still on there pretty good. You'll need to cut them to fit your size door sill.

Yes they are removable, but it will leave the rough edges of the aluminum frame revealed.

yep, just slid them out. they work real good. you gain about 2" or 3" about, but it does help. easy install as well.

I had to test it, because I never tried, never knew they would have that feature. Yes, they are. Easily removable. They also stay on when they're supposed to, which was the problem the last cart I had.

yeah they're permanent, so I didn't use them. I use a small suction cup to hang it, which also lets me travel with it easily.

They have adhesive and are actually pretty permanent. I needed to remove them and had difficulty. Hope this helps!

if you remove the cooking grates and the flavor bars it will clear. what i did on my flavor bars was cut 2"off the end so it would fit down in the grill closer to the burner. that way it still looks stock. (if you send them to me i will cut them for free)if you don't want to cut them then you can use a baking sheet in place of them. you will need a motor and spit rod as i don't believe that model comes with one. if it is an option, get it.we also have them on our site.

They are not removable unless you want to "Make" them removable by forcefully removing them. The only thing you need to worry about it the shipping. Mine came delivered to my door and looked like it was dragged behind the truck for about 30 miles.

I wouldn't recommend taking them off after you've tightened them onto your handle bars. You risk stripping the hex screws that hold them on and the diameter of the bar ends would be smaller than originally once you remove them. I would not recommend any type of bar ends on a rental bike, not to mention the ends of the handlebar grips have to be cut/removed to put these on a bike's handlebars.

I got these nerf bars for my dad as a Christmas gift and he put them on himself with ease. It didn't take him long at all and he didn't run into any issues. I don't see a need for professional installation if you know what you're doing. Hope that helps!

Hi Kate, it only took me a few minutes and it was don so I suppose doing it often shouldn't be too much trouble. However, take care of the plastic parts that cover the "roots" (where they go into the car) because they are fragile when installing, in fact one of mine came broken but they replaced it immediately. Other than that, they stayed on for the last 2 years without a problem.

If you are asking can they be taken off to make it even shorter for transporting in a car, etc. NO. They are permanently affixed with the break lines attached to them running down inside the metal tubes to the wheels.

I like these handles but they are not replacements for your road bars. They are for resting your wrists and shoulders on long straights. You can put shifter levers on them but not breaks. I use them on long straightaways that I'm familiar with that don't have dramatic curves or big potholes where quick maneuvers would be necessary. They take a lot of practice.

Once you get them on and adjusted in terms of positioning, it's as simple as using an Allen key to undo two bolts from the mounting bracket on both arms. I used these specifically for triathlons and long training rides. The only downsides are once removed you will have to put them back on your bars in the spot you previously had then setup, I use a silver sharpie to mark the location, the other issue for me was my cables are very short (which looks cleaner and is a bit more aero) so I had to loosen some bat tape to free up space to mount the aero bars.

Mighty Mounts have a thumb screw that can be loosened to take the mount off. It takes about 5 minutes to take the mounts off factory bars.
