Agree, those rails are sorry. It's on my list. The headliner on these is often sagging anyway, so it's a good time to fix that too. Worth a few hours time. Having the new rack a few inches lower looks a lot better and keeps the load that much lower.

Actually, you can pull the headliner down at the edge enough to get to the rail fittings.
Even though I have the high rack, I removed my rails.
My wife's '97 doesn't have sun roofs so could use a low rack on it though.

hahaha aerodynamic loss? You're on a rover board right? The low profile rack may save .001 mpg on these barn doors.

You'd be suprised, friend.
How many different SD racks have you used? I've used three different SD racks on three different Discos and believe me, your ".001 mpg" isn't very scientific.

You can also crease the hell out a headliner doing it this way!
I wasn't defending the roof rails as being useful, but a Disco without rails/rack looks strange, IMO. Taking them off for no reason seems like a weird hassle for a bizarre result.

Yeah, if you aren't careful you definitely can crease it.
I think Discos look weird anyway, so it doesn't bother me.

I don't think taking them off makes it that much better. My vote went for leaving them on. Besides I like using my sunroof.

I voted for "Without." I considered myself fortunate to find a tall rack shortly after the purchase of my Disco One, so I didn't hesitate to buy it. If I would have been really fortunate, it would have been a short rack.

Has anyone with no rack taken them off? Just curious to see what it'd look like
