PVC insulating tape is remarkably good at keeping the weather out of things and it comes in a wide range of colours.

The standard method of roof bar removal involves removing the entire head liner, and I'm not sure I can be bothered with that. Also, I might want to carry things on the roof at some point, although I haven't felt the need for a few years now.
That is exactly how it is on my Subaru. I removed the cross-members easily enough, but I just do not think that it is worth removing the rest of it.

I have needed to put the cross-members back a few times now, though, and I have only had the car a little more than one year.
