I recently bought a 4Runner with a ski rack installed. As the holidays are coming up I wanted to remove the rack so that I can go out and buy a Christmas tree.

I spent about 30 minutes looking at the ski rack from every angle before I realized that I must be an idiot and didn't know how to take it off. I then went and got my father-in-law who is more experienced with ski racks in general (he's a Pathfinder owner who is now very jealous of my 4Runner). He spent another 30 minutes looking at the rack before coming to the conclusion that we must both be idiots.

The ski rack is made (or at least branded) by Toyota and it has no identifying marks (part number, model name, etc). Does anybody know how to remove these?

Thanks in advance.
