Roof racks or roof rails?
If it is the Lexus roof racks first you need the key, then you unlock each housing, 1 at a time, and unscrew the wing nut under there until it is loose, but don't go to far it is a pain in the butt to get back on if you have it fall off the nut. Once you get both sides of the roof rack loosened just give it a slight jiggle and it should separate from the roof rails and you can pick it up.
If you mean the roof rails, then I have no idea how, or even if, you can remove those.

Is the key for the crossbars some sort of universal or tool? I also got the roof racks but didn't get any sort of key for taking them off. The salesman assured me it was a universal tool but didn't tell me which kind.. thanks!

When we picked up my sister's NX with roof racks, we almost left without the key. We asked how to take them off, and the salesperson quickly ran inside and got us a bag of keys. Don't think I need 6 keys, but oh well.

Yeah, there is a key like slot on each of the end caps where the Lexus logo is on roof rack. But no key in the glove or anywhere else I can find 
Any luck that there's a code which to generate a key? I'll have to call my salesman again and hope they don't try to charge me now! Thanks guys
Also, what page in the manual did you grab that typocl? I couldn't find that page.

I got that image from the cross bar install guide (look in the FAQ, it's in a post on manuals)
judging by what dchar says, it doesn't seem like these are very secure anyway if the salesman gave them a bag of 6 keys - so they probably have a few laying around
