I am looking to replace the black roof rails on my 2007 Jaguar X Type Estate with the silver ones. How do you remove the existing black rails. there doesn't seem to an obvious release to the covers, do they slid, do they have a release point? any help would be appreciated.

 

Welcome to the forums catastrophe1,

I would expect them to be bolted through the roof panel but that is just a guess. Members in X-Type forum with the same model will know:
