Factory Roof Rails

[AusGreenGren]

Hi Guys,

I have considering mounting some thin flexible solar panels to the existing factory roof rails - possible with some polyurethane.
They seem to have a slight bit of movement so I was wondering if they are just a cap over something a bit more beefy.

I dont want to force them off only to find I've broken an unobtanium clip or something.

Anybody have any details on these things

Thanks and Regards

Steve

The plastic roof rails are just clipped into some metal studs on the roof.

I have read that some people do break the attachments in the plastic rail when removing if not done correctly. I'm sure somewhere within all this knowledge there is an exploration on to remove them correctly
