i got an extended security torque star set and i use my power ratchet (i'm bringing it anyways to swap pads) and blast it off. roof racks sort of seem like a hassle, but it is really easy and practical.

Wait a sec, so do you mount and dismount the roof rack bars at the track?

Also, I'm thinking about getting the base roof rack bars set from the dealer, and then add the necessary add-ons for a mountain bike and surfboard. Can I carry (2) surfboards with the roof rack system?

I'm nervous AF about tinkering with the install process of connecting the base bars to the roof, do you have any pics of the way you did it?

Thank you!

Cheers,
Merlin
Yes, it takes about one minute. It's four torque star bolts with an extended bit for my power ratchet. The basket for the wheels is custom constructed out of aluminum to keep weight down.
