### Save Fuel, Reduce Noise
Winter's here and you're not using the roof bars until next summer? **Taking them off** saves fuel, stops the motorway whistle, and your car will go through car washes again. Plus they're not sitting there weathering for months.
> 💡 **Pro tip:** Remove roof bars in autumn and refit in spring. You'll save £100+ in fuel over winter, and the bars won't be sat there corroding in salt spray all season.

Good to Know
> 🚗 **Fuel savings:** Taking roof bars off for winter can save £100-150 in fuel if you do a lot of motorway miles. Even local driving sees 5% improvement. Worth the 20 minutes to remove them. **Refit difficulty:** Most modern roof bar systems are designed for easy removal and refitting - usually just 4-8 bolts total. Once you've seen them come off, putting them back on is straightforward. **Storage space:** Roof bars are awkward shapes - about 1.2-1.5m long. Make sure you've got somewhere to put them before I remove them. Garage rafters work well, or stood upright in a corner.
Frequently Asked Questions about Roof bars removal in Teignmouth
Why would I want roof bars removed?
Fuel economy and noise mostly. Even empty roof bars cost you 5-10% on fuel and make motorway noise. If you're not using them for months, take them off and save money. Plus most car washes won't take cars with roof bars fitted.
Can I put them back on myself later?
Yes - once I've removed them, I'll show you how they came off and where the parts go. Most systems are designed for regular removal and refitting. Keep the fittings together and it's straightforward.
Where should I store removed roof bars?
Somewhere dry - garage, shed, loft. Keep all the fittings together (they're easy to lose). Wrap bars in old towels or bubble wrap to protect your car's paint if you lean them against stuff. Don't leave them outside - fittings will corrode.
Will removal leave marks on my roof?
Shouldn't do if they've been fitted properly with the rubber pads. Might show dust outline where they were, but that washes off. If bars have been on for years, you might see slight fading difference - remove in winter when you're not using them.
Can you remove a roof box at the same time?
Yes - box comes off first (needs storing too), then the bars. Same price for both if done together. Just need somewhere to put the box while we're there.
