I just bought the crosspieces for my 2020 Tahoe and I can’t get the plastic plugs out of the rack holes on top of the vehicle, without tearing the tops off, which leaves a piece of it in the hole, keeping the bolt from going in. What’s the secret? I’ve tried screwdriver and pliers. Hate to half to drill them all out. Thx. H
Just put roofracks on mine a few weeks ago... they screwed right out on my denali..

Yes, they unscrew. Why not just replace with short s.s./black oxide button head socket cap screws in there? M6-1.0, fine thread. $8 for a pack of 50 on Amazon, likely less at your local hardware for the quantity you would need.

I replaced mine with stainless bolts. Its a standard size. Bring to your local hardware store to match up. I also used a stainless/rubber flat washer to keep water out.
