    I mounted a Pelican case to my PRO roof crossbars using the Yakima 23 mounts. Aside from locking the case, it seems easy enough to simply loosen and remove the crossbar clamp bolts and lift the entire case and bars off the rack.

    Is there a way or bolt replacement for the crossbar bolts to make them less easy to remove and steal?

    Well I bought some "stainless" M6-30mm bolts to replace the OE bolts.

    This is to secure a Pelican case up top. I'm using the Yakima 23h mounts on two of the crossbars.
