Default Removing Roof Channels

The parts diagram says there are clips holding them in, but I am curious if they are one-time clips or reusable. Also... do I remove the channels by just prying them up and out?

No, too much weight at the highest point of the car and way overpriced. Just repainting the roof and putting on a roof spoiler (street scene).

For me, the benefits of the glass roof far outweigh the 25 lb additional weight. Unless you are building a race car, I suppose.

I googled CDC roof spoiler and couldn't find it. Do you have a link?

Yes, that's the street scene spoiler. I got it for less, though, and to my door.

Still don't know about the roof channels.
