Removing roof rack - Land Rovers Only

Does anyone know how to remove the factory roof rack?

I have a '02 RR and it looks like there are some funny hex screws with a pin in the middle holding it down.

If you are removing the whole thing with the rail, it might need rubber grommet to patch the whole in the roof.
I once removed roof rack from 97 Disco I and bought 2" rubber grommet and plugged the hole for the rack on the roof.

Do you know of any sources where I can get the hex tool to remove the screws on the base? I lost mine.

I believe those are the security hex nuts or bolts used to prevent theft. You can get a set from AUto Zone or also I have seen from Sears Craftmand Catalog also. I believe these have a little hole on the center of the socket to fit in the bolts with pin.

'02 Range Rover. Is that a P38 (the last year they were made) or an L322 (if you don't live in the States?

P38 uses those integrated into the roof design.
