need help removing roof rails on h2

[kalantar]

How difficult are they to remove?
I assumed you can simply unscrew the knobs and they come off but for some reason some of the knobs barely move. I have gotten the rails a bit loose, but still no luck in removing them.

Any suggestions?

Thanks, very helpful.
Another problem I'm having is trying to turn the knobs, any special way to it?

haha, thanks for the responses ... Took a soft mallet to all the roof rail knobs and started hammering in the correct direction and finally got them all loose! After 7 years of ownership finally got them removed!
