My XJ didnt come with the luggage rack crossmembers and I went and grabbed two at the junkyard today. Anywho, how do I pop off those plastic end caps so I can slid on the crossmembers and attach my roof basket?

Thanks guys!

Its a 96 if that helps :)
 
if u look down through the top there should be a screw... of corse its allen not philips or flat head
 
If you have the same one as a 98 look in the back of the rail, last hole, torx, loosen, no need to remove, about 8 turns and slide the end cap back and off. It is easier to slide the bars on from the back then slide them forward.

On my old 86, you had to pull the last torx bolt all the way out to pull the end cap off. Watch the rubber bushing, mine droped down the hole. That was no fun!!
