Rav4 Roof rails replacement

We have an old 2006 D4D XT4 with original roof rails. We are replacing it with a 2006 T180 without roof rails. Can the rails be swapped over? How easy are they to remove?

I’m presuming both the vehicles you mention are the 4.3 model? My 2010 XTR didn’t have roof rails originally but I bought a pair of proper Toyota ones and fitted them myself a few years ago. Dead easy job. From memory there are just two plastic covers to remove on each side of the roof and four bolts the fasten each rail to the roof. No special tools needed or anything of that nature.

OK, got the old ones off. Bit of a faff taking the plastic covers off without damage. But the bolts came out easily. Will fit it on the other car when my wife gets home. Thanks for the advice.

Anybody now if it is possible to get replacements for the plastic covers at the end of the rails? They are rather tatty.
