You will have to buy new roof strips, yours have several big cuts in them under the "brackets"
Pop off a support cover, underneath you will see some torx bolts to remove, once they are all off, remove everything. Then you slide the strips out and replace with the uncut ones.
The strips are not cheap.
Your best bet is to find someone with a V70 (the same color) who wants them and you can swap strips
