Broken Roof Panel Hook

[sroeser01]

I installed Thule Roof rack and cross bars into the factory roof panel hooks and after several years of misuse and adding weight well over capacity the roof panel hooks have broken and the rack wont stay tight. I am now relocating for my job and purchased an aftermarket roof basket that i would need for the long move up north and for camping gear ect. I found a web site that sells replacement roof panel hooks but i dont know how to get the old ones out. Anyone have any info that might be able to shed light on this??
