Is it possible to remove the plastic roof rails?

I'm getting my roof wrapped next week and want to know if it's possible to remove the rails to make the overall job easier.

Thanks!

Yes it looks like it, but as always in automotive... there is a certain way to pop off without ******* it up.

U pop off the front first by twisting it slightly to the left/right, do the same to the rest of the 3 plastic clips, Then at the last tab/part just slide the cover off.
