id gladly help out.. but i dont have a stock roof rack.. so i wouldnt know how/where to cut... barts right though, dremels are pretty cheap... and worth their weight in gold

the best way i figured out to remove the rail covers is i took a small flat screwdriver and slipped it under the middle of the cover towards the outside of the vx, and then slid it to one side lifting gently until that corner popped up, then slid the screwdriver to the other side until that one popped up, then slid the cover straight towards the opposite rail (horizontally across the roof) and it just slid right off (might be helpful to put some e-tape on the underside of the screwdriver to prevent scratching the roof
