Default Stock roof rails.

I am looking for a set of stock black roof rails. I don't want to paint them just in the case I don't like it. Plus I don't want to pay to have them painted even if I do like it.
I will then have the extra set if I want to change back. Decals an striping tape is not an option.

You have to buy them new. When you remove them you basically ruin them.

They are like a paperclip, once you unbend it, it's almost impossible to get it back to the right shape.

X2 on Mike's Method. I used an old card from my wallet and it came off with nearly the same line as the roof. They can easily be put back on if you remove them properly and take your time. No need to rush the removal

Too bad you weren't looking earlier, I had my old ones but I just moved a month ago and recently threw them away while cleaning out my garage.
