well for those that took the side rods out, did you just use your fingers to pull on the rod from opening the two sport rack mounts?

or is there a tool that you guys used to pry the rods off?

So is this something that can be done DIY? or do you have to have a professional installer?

I've got nothing but time and perfectionist qualities but little to no skill lol.

What is used as adhesive? Any side effects if I screw it up assuming I dont take a razor to my roof?

+1, can anyone confirm this? We were wondering if there is a seam on the vinyl behind the shark fin.
