The instructions from Honda state that I need to insert a flat-tip screwdriver into the hole on the inside of the roof rail base and release the retaining tab to remove the cover. It does not seem to do the trick. I can fell the tab going in but can't seem to pry or slide the cover. Any helpful hints would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!!

The tab is a spring clip that you push in. However, getting the cover to slide can be a real trick. It does slide off however, just keep working at it, while at the same time keeping the spring clip pushed it
I know the rear covers do slide to the rear. I haven't taken off the front ones as I can slide in what I need from the rear. Two covers are enough to mess with.

Takes a lot of force to move that piece back. Pushing the metal clip back, I forced it with a flat-head screwdriver, and broke the plastic tab that is held by the metal clip on one side.
