Re: MK2 gutter strips??
Carefully prise one of the end caps off first, then the rest of the strip will just pull up and off. They are sometimes held with adhesive, but pull off easily enough. Refitting is the reverse of removal, but you will see on the underside of the end caps, that they slide onto a small metal peg fixed to the roof. Pretty much self explanitary once you get the first end cap off. 
Don't ask me....it was like that when i got here !

watch out tho they can lose there shape, when you remove them.
Best to remove them in the hot sun....When we get some

There`s a blue scirocco blowin warm wind into my face
The sun is shining on the underside of the bridges
And there`s cars going by with smiles in the windows

Two long length's of roofing battern or 2 x 1.
On a hot day and leave in the sun then clamp together for a couple of hours and again leave in the sun..
Some times it works...
There again when we get some sun !
