Like the topic hints, I'd like to make my roof rack disconnectable quickly.

Vehicle is a 2001 Chevy Blazer (s10) 2dr, and the rack is attached to the roof with 8 torx screws.

They're a pain in the buttox to screw/unscrew, and I do use my rack once a month or so. I'd love to be able to latch it on with some type of disconnect or "quick screw"... then just hang it back up on my garage wall after i'm done like I do with my hitch-haul carrier.

Removing the crossbars necessitates removing the whole rack, so that's not a great option either.

Thoughts?
