Nice video, makes it clear what you have to do.  I would mention that you don't want to put excessive force on the rail laterally as it's mounted in a plastic carrier and if you break it, you have a big problem.

 

Good point!  You must be very careful and be gentle as you are bending the rail.  Just a very little bend.  The metal on those rails is actually pretty soft and you could break off the tip if too aggressive.  Sometimes I think people would just know that but I forget not everyone thinks the same way. 

Thanks for pointing that out.
