I just took off the two cross bars. SF has one old parking garage with very low clearance, and now I can just squeak in with out rubbing. My high point now is 6' 2".

take the rack off n see how you like it.
i took my roof rack off for like a month. i liked it at first but up close you can still see the top of the threaded insert. the best thing would to have the inserts removed, holes welded up smoothed and repainted. more work than i wanted to get into.
i ened up modding the yukon rack by painted the caps and polishing the rails.

take it off and buy my Escalade Roof Rack, why do a fake rack, when you can have the real one.

All though his roof rack does look cool.

Leave it.

Or take it off.

Don't do the Esky rack. They look tacky IMO.

I like it without them but one thing i do recommend doing if u leave them off for good is getting like door trim or whatever and (if u cant find ur paint job color) paint it to match ur paint them applying a strip of the trim over all the studs, its makes it look 10x's better and there was a thread on this i saw one time that sparked me to do it so if i find it ill post a link here.
