Roof Rack for 2019 Cadillac XT5 Platinum
Question:
the car I am looking at has a trailer hitch, can it be easily removed by the dealer? also, the UGLY roof rack removed? Were they installed by the factory or after they arrived at the dealer?

Expert Reply:
In regards to vehicles that have a trailer hitch - which would be put on at the factory - some of them can be removed, but some are welded on, and there is unfortunately no way for us to know which vehicles have welded hitches. Additionally, there is not a fit for a trailer hitch fit for a 2019 Cadillac XT5 Platinum which would allow you to replace it.
The roof rack is another story and that can be removed on a '19 XT5 Platinum. The roof rack on this vehicle (which I checked out and you were 100 percent right, they are not attractive) is attached to fixed mounting points so you can remove the old rack, though I recommend having the dealer do this for you.
You can them replace them with a much more savvy-looking rack from Yakima, which consists of Yakima JetStream Crossbars # Y00425 (Black), SkyLine Towers # Y53TR, Landing Pad # Y00245 and Lock Cores # Y07204 (optional).
As you can see of the accompanying photos of this rack atop a 2019 Cadillac XT5, this will give your vehicle a much refined look than the factory rack. I have also added a link to a video showing this rack being installed on a '19 XT5 for you to check out.
