So the front of the gutter slides back, and the back of the gutter slides forward. So it would kind of bend up in the middle. ;)

I couldn't find the thread either although it wasn't a 'how to'.
IIRC, lift one end of the trim and slide it towards the rear of the car.......I think. :?

That guide above is definately wrong though. :o

Here's some photo's to help you visualise......
