    start at rear,
    each rod is held up by 3 little sharp tags which are curled over the rod from the roof
    hard to see, sometimes hiden by the fabric which covers the rods

    pair of pliars and carfully un-fold the tags, make sure you dont poke the roof and cause a high spot

    then roll the rod towards the front and it should curve downwards

    simply bend a little in the middle till one side is out of the end hole and then the other will slide out,

    work your way forwards

    If you're not planning on putting it back in, use a stanley knife

    Yes I'm far too lazy.
