OK, so I'm working on removing the roof rails myself. My Dad and bros still want me to take it to a body shop for a good paint job (most of the cost). Installation will not be much more. I think this counts as Birthday and Christmas present now!

Any more tips on removing the roof rails?
I've got the plastic covers and the torx screws removed. I can't seem to pull the rail away from the white plastic clips (see the how-to listed before). Can't seem to get leverage with the mallet either.
It might be helpful to see a close-up of the clips.

Well, I'll try this again tomorrow. No sense in spending a Saturday working on the thesis. If I can get the dang thing off I will try to post pics.
