So... the LR cross bars were fitted by the LR dealer to the roof rails when I picked the car up new.
They put a bizarre looking implement in the glove box and two canvas carry bags, but no instructions or diagrams about how to take the LR cross bars off.....anyone know how before I break something?

Try looking at Freelander 2/LR2 accessory fitting guide, page 3 crossbars fitting guide it might give you what you need
