    Hi all from Sunny Cornwall, England,
    I wanted to ask peoples advice here, I've got a Prius+ 2012 UK model fitted with roof bars from the manufacturer, I've got the special locking key and T bar but I'm struggling to remove them.

    I've unlocked the plastic cover and put the T-bar key in however there is some kind of ratchet which just clicks when I try unscrewing it. Is there some way to lock this ratchet so I can unscrew the bars to remove them when not needed.

    I'm probably doing something stupid knowing me, I've asked the dealer (which is 200 miles away being a company car) and they weren't sure (and it’s not in the manual), I just thought I'd ask here before going to my local dealer.

    Thanks in advance.

    To those answering, the Prius+ is a UK/Europe model like the v in the US.

    Haven't seen a roof rack on a v over here and, given its impact on airflow and thus KPL/MPG, surprised they give you one.

    Sorry I can't help.

    I did have to ask for it, looks like it'll be a trip to the dealer then.
