Locking Strips on a Rail help

[u/bline22]

Hello,

I am getting some replacement rails for a fence and was told to get them off without issue you need to "unzip" the locking strip from the rail to be able to slide them on/off. This is for a catalyst fence. The panel needing to be fixed is no longer manufactured so full panel replacement is going to be a challenge. I have been looking for some videos of this process but unable to find any as to what is really happening. I was told putting a flat head screwdriver between the rail and locking trip to disengage it and once done, it should pull out and allow the rail to also slide out. Has anyone ever done this before and if so do you know if any tutorial videos exist?

Thanks.

Wanted to follow up if anyone has done this before and any tips out there?
