How does one remove the crossbars from the roof rack?
When I did a search there was reference to a thumb screw but my 2001 doesn't have one.
I think that you loosen the tracks at one end or the other and then slide them off but I figure I would ask the knowledgable people here before I go off and screw them up.
I don't use them and have found that they are a source of a thruming noise on the highway. I had put them both all the way back and that created the loudest and weirdest wave type sound, moving one to the front greatly reduced the noise but I figure that removing them completely will reduce the noise the most.

idle bogs down and returns to normal idle
I start my car up it runs fine, but about 30 seconds into running it bogs down to about 200-300 rpm and then jumps right back up and idles fine...I've also noticed my gas mileage has gown down, What would cause this to happen...I've heard many scenarios and I would like a good starting point before I begin to tear it apart and not find anything...
