Wow, you made this look a lot more difficult than it actually is. Got mine off without opening the rear, sliding tabs out, etc. Just used a flat head screwdriver wrpapped in a terry cloth to get the old ones off.

Now, anyone thinking of getting these should not order them online since they tend to bend very easily. Get them from a local Mazda dealer and I also suggest opening and inspecting them at the dealer. First set I got had one with a slight crimp in it and that was from the dealer. Luckily we did enough business with them that they took it back no questions.

Massive thread over at m3f if you want to look for it. I think it's titled "roof rack update"
