    VERY CAREFULLY! I use a flathead screwdriver and gently pry the tabs away from the rail.

    From the side facing outward, or inward?

    There are tabs on both sides,but I think it's easier to start on the inside.

    The way I do it is to stand on each side, slip my fingernails carefully under the inboard edges, and carefully "lift" it up and out...

    Yeah, they are TIGHT. I snapped one tab on one of mine when removing. Just go real slow and be careful.

    I have the rail covers off of mine and can snap a picture of them so you can see where the tabs are if you would like.
