Can anyone post a quick set of tips on removing the OEM roof rails? I'm particularly interested in the initial steps on how to get the plastic covers off without breaking anything. I assume that once you get the covers off the rest is relatively intuitive.

I also assume that the steps are generally "Pop them off", however, it would be nice to know if you should start prying them off in a particular spot around the cover to avoid breaking any clips.

Awesome! Thank you sir!

If a moderator/admin is reading this, it would be nice to have a section where these kinds of documents can be stored/accessed as people find them.

Have you found the proper delete kit after removing it? I’m struggling to.
Sorry, can’t help you there. I installed a Prinsu so no need for the delete kit.

These were exactly what I needed. Had the rails off in about 5 minutes. Really helps knowing where to pry/pull to make sure you don’t break any of the clips. Thanks again!
 
Actually, the part numbers appear to be in those linked PDFs as well
