simon at powerfuluk has - note you're going to need a 5 point-star-with-centre-pin driver head to get the original trim off - simon does call them out.
footnote: I shall be checking how neatly my dealership has done mine when it turns up 
To be fair doesn't look any harder than the roof rails I put on my first Disco 3 about 15 years ago - I actually found the trims I took off in the garage roof space at the weekend!  Steve N | 21MY Defender  | 08MY Discovery 3 (history) | 06MY Discovery 3 (ancient history) |

I had them fitted 2 months after taking delivery of the car but got the dealer to do it while the car was in for warranty work, I had the rear recovery eyes fitted at the same time. Pangea Green D250 90 HSE with Air Suspension, Off-road Pack, Towing Pack, Black Contrast roof , rear recovery eyes, Front bash plate, Classic flaps all round, extended wheel arch kit and a few bits from PowerfulUK Expel Clear Gloss PPF to come
2020 D240 1st Edition in Pangea Green with Acorn interior. Now gone - old faithful, no mechanical issues whatsoever ever but the leaks and rattles all over the place won’t be missed! |

WRT the 5 point-star-with-centre-pin driver head fitting, some idiot cut the cable of my hedge cutter whilst I... er they were using it. I took all but one torx bit out with a normal torx driver. The last one was a safety torx bit, with the centre pin. I did not have the tool to remove it. However an electrical screwdriver rammed between the points and the pin worked well to remove it. I wouldn’t advise using that method to remove roof bolts though. Hmm, the thought of the screwdriver slipping on the roof doesn’t bear thinking about. 1983 110 2286 petrol hardtop.
