If its just the standard black plastic trim on the gutter, i removed a tiny bit from the back - about 1cm - and the figure 8 now easily slides on from the back. I just leave it on, and slide my awning or sun canopy in to it...only hassle is if i want to "drive away", but we tend to use a tent rather than our awning and just the sun canopy on the figure 8

I plan to use this method on mine when it's done as I no longer have the high-top
Clamps on the gutter
