For those who have a roof rack, do you ever take it off when it's not in use?
I recently installed a Thule Aeroblade which works great for carrying bikes, however I am not a fan of the look. I will mountain bike every so often during the summer but it should be easy put on and remove since only four screws fasten it to the car.

I left mine on all the time you never known when some one needed a helping hand to carry their bikes.

Having roof racks on when not in use is just a waste of fuel

Looking at a 2021 M340i Xdrive. Realistically, how long does it take to install /uninstall a roof rack? I imagine if you get good at it - the racks can be off and hanging in the garage in 5 min. I’m an avid Mountain biker - but sort of getting tired of the big suv thing.

I have a suction mounted rack for my surfboard but they have attachments for bikes and skis/snowboard and it works great. I've hit 80 with my board mounted and not going anywhere. It only takes a couple of min to put in and seconds to take off. The one I'm using is the stagg rack and price is similar to hard mounted racks.
