I read that they can be taken down when not needed, but not only the crossbars but everything is being taken off? Or is something remaining on the car

Everything is taken off. Its your choice though. They come with a rubber piece the slides into the crossbar to keep water out when not in use. And that's how I leave mine. But if you're not using it, its very simple to take everything off.

The rack and attachments can be installed and taken off the car at any given time.

The roof racks are all one piece and can be taken off or put back on at will. There are no remaining pieces when taken off. The roof racks work like a clamp and have to be tightened to put on and loosened to remove from vehicle.

There's nothing left on the car, each crossbar comes off with everything together.

Each crossbar is attached to the feet that clamp onto the frame. When you loosen it to remove it from the car, you're taking off the entire crossbar assembly. There are two crossbars, so two assemblies. Nothing stays on the car when removed. Also, one person can pretty easily remove or reinstall these without assistance. Don't lose the keyed wrench that comes with them.

Yes they have crossbars and the crossbars are built in you don't have to remove them to roll it up.

I tend to doubt it. I think you would be much happier with the Thule crossbars, as it is extremely important to get the correct overhang so the hullivator can properly clear the side of the car when lowered.

Those are crossbar supports to give some added support in the middle. You need to drill them manually. Seems like something that was included last minute since everything else doesn't require additional tools.

Please be safe and get the crossbars! You can get them from a junkyard if you have to. We tried a rooftop carrier once without crossbars and made it about 850 miles when the carrier flew off the top of the car onto the interstate! We were so lucky it didn't hit another car or cause a crash. Don't take the chance.

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'm sorry Jennifer, i have only bought the roof rack. I don't have the crossbars.

There are pre drilled holes in the crossbar to mount lights. There is a hole to access the bolts so you don't have to go all the way through

It is just the two cross bars. My Subaru Crosstrek already had the sidebars.

Are looking for the Sliders, the one that is inside the Rail?, those are sold with the crossbar. Unfortunately, Mazda are not selling them separately right now. Or if you are looking for the Molded plastic at the end of the Crossbar, those are not sold separately also. Quirk Mazda Parts

they can be removed......i leave mine on because i feel they add a sport look to the RX350 it sort of dresses it up more...

Yes, they are like a bicycle gooseneck and could be easily removed if necessary. I just received your message this morning and am at work so I can't measure exactly but I am pretty sure you should be all set to clear with the handlebars removed or laid down.

Roof rails are already on car. There are plastic screws in the rails in locations where you might want to mount cross bars. Simply remove the plastic screws in location you want the bar and place cross bar and secure with included hardware. It's pretty easy to do but you will need a ladder.

Car came with roof rack but without cross bars. My guess is that it's a dealer only item and you probably want thenm to install it also.

No, they are set at fixed points on the side rails. You can see where they attach, there are small covers on the side rails that are removed to install the cross rails.

That's easy.. There are liI openings under the dashboard and by the center console. Easier to hide in the new cars then the older cars.. Sometimes it won't hold unless u plan on screwing them in
