That can be (and I have done) exactly that .... but:
- removing and reinstalling the bars is difficult for 1 man.
- the bars are held on with self tapping sheet metal screws and about 20-25% of them will strip the old holes in the door ribs. That means you have to try and slightly move the screw enough to get fresh metal (and you do not have a lot of room to do so) and redrill with the self tappers.
All of that being said ... it is worth the effort to do this on a WEST facing garage door as they get the most direct afternoon sun.
