The effort to remove them was too much, too much torque required actually broke one bit. Some came out easier, some would get so hard partially threaded out that something seemed off. Still like to remove the ugly things of my '19 pro. Must be loctitie on these bolts for the pro rack. I did this on my '18 landcruiser and it was a piece of cake.

Any ideas?

my '10 Trail had torx bolts with blue loctite... nothing unusual there. however, given that the Pro parts are added at port it’s possible that whomever installed that ungodly roof rack cross-threaded the bolts for you.

us a longer driver or ratchet will give you more impact hopefully it was not cross threaded with a power tool at the dock ,the factory say 14lb torque only good luck and if you decide to sell the Rack let me know thanks

I was using a 1/2 Long crasftsmsn ratchet. Not a torque wrench but definitely in there tighter than 14 pounds
If I get it off I will not be selling it as I’ll need it when I go to sell the truck

Thank you for the write up.

I ordered all the parts last week and they got here over the weekend.
I was out of town, so I'll get to it this week.

Appreciate the time and info you provided.

Question
When looking at the mounting points, is the only point of leaking at the bolt holes around and inside of the white plastic housings? Just curious if anywhere else needs to be sealed. I really don't want to be worried about water getting in anywhere.

Yes. I just did this mod to my 19' Pro a couple weeks ago and there are no points of entry for water other than the 2 bolt holes at each of the 4 mounting points.

Also it should be noted that the 2019 Pro models (that came with the god awful FJ style rack) have no plastic tubes in the mounting holes like past models do, so don't be like me and wonder why they're not there and think something went wrong.

Did this yesterday. How tight did everyone tighten down the bolts? I got them tight and then kinda kept going until they wouldn't tighten anymore. Not sure if that was appropriate or not as my torque wrench didn't go down to 14lbs.

No issues thus far.
