Hey Craig, thanks for reaching out!
You'll need to cut part of the rail to remove the old and install the new Replacement Tail Clamp Assembly # EX1035.
It seems kind of goofy to me, but my contact at Extang confirmed this is how the installation is supposed to go. We've actually got a really good review on this part where someone gave some specific details on how they did this and provided photos as well. I'm linking their experience to this page in a photo for your reference.
I'd love to hear how your experience goes with this whenever you get it finished!
