Fitting Luggage Rails

[Big Ry]

Hi All,

I've bought a set of luggage rails for my 2014 Evoque but the fitting instructions are nothing short of useless.

I understand I need to cut the side panels which in itself is bloody stupid however I can't seem to actually get them out and am a bit concerned about breaking them (or something) if I force them.

Any idea / thoughts / advice on cutting the trim whilst it's in place (using a Black & Decker Oscillator) ? That seems like a much quicker and easier option than dismantling half the car.

Any advice, pics or thoughts appreciated.

Cheers

Not prepared to pay for something I can do myself (with a little effort). The dealer hasn't been able to work out what the knocking is from the rear drivers side despite three attempts, so to say I don't have much faith in them is a fair assessment
