You only asked how to remove, you didnt say anything about wanting them in 1 piece and the ability to reattach  ;D

Just wondered! ;)  :y
Can you not just undo a small amount of trim to allow access from the rear doors & tailgate just enough to reach in?
When you say polish them, I take it they're ally of some kind & you want a shiney Audi look.

If you remove the upper bits of trim then you cna flex the roof lining enough to get to the securing bolts.....this is what I did to fit them to my old ex-plod.
