Thank for the help. I did the best I could clearing the holes. Ended up buying new M6 1.0-16mm bolts which are a hair shorter than the OEM. Worked well.I had the same thing happen to me. Pliers and xacto knife to scrape plugs out. Then, tap the threads to clean out the hole. In The 2013 model I have, the plugs were basically glued into the hole.
JangoSW, I posted my experience and solution a while back. Hopefully this is useful to you or the next guy who needs to remove the rail plugs;Did one side, no problem. The next side the plastic plugs rip the top off. Any help getting this out? They want to sink to the bottom of the hole.
