Default How to remove tonneau cover "rails"?

How do you remove the rails inside the trunk area that hold the tonneau cover?

I know that sounds like a very simple question, but I can't figure it out. I've searched the forum and Lexus part drawings, but they haven't been any help.

I remove the two bolts on each end, but it will not budge.
There are no hidden bolts behind the light assembly.
There are no hidden bolts inside the rear bulb access door.
If I shine a flashlight inside the louvered area, I don't see visible bolts or clips.

I need to remove the C pillar trim.

Many thanks!

There's a third bolt behind the light assembly.
I removed it, but the rail assembly still won't budge.
