They are hooked in you need to push them towards the back of the car to get the hook out of the holder then pull up dont force anything because you will bend the rail. i did the same thing a couple years ago to cure my leaking hatch..everyone wants to blame the sunroof drain tubes but mine were completely clear. i used por15 to seal it up.

Order new ones, the old ones won't be straight once you remove them
