While back their was a topic related to removing the roof rails.

I had mine taken out and the interior roof panel wasn´t removed for this.

Aparently some were informed that the interior roof had to be removed.

Found this for those who intend to remove them por painting like I did.

Hope you can access to this forum with out signing in. If not please let me know.

Nice, I was the one who thought the headlining needed to be dropped. Dodgy info from my dealer.

Just need a set of silver rails and the removal tool now... anyone!?
