if they are the factory cross rails then they slide on from the front or back. thats how i got mine off anyways. there are those little end pieces on the ends of the rails, those pop off after you loosen up the screws holding the rail itself to the jeep. lift the rail up and you should be able to pop those end pieces off, then the cross rails slide right on. you have to hold in the lock buttons while doing it.
