Outside wing triangle removal near side view mirrors

Hi All,
Does anyone know how to remove the outside blk plastic wings next to the side view mirrors. I don't want to break them, or the tabs off. Thanks for any help you all can give me.
Regards,
Lou

I do believe they pry/pop off. I don't believe they are bolted on.

If you remove the interior plastic trim triangle you may be able to see the back of the exterior triangle to see how it attaches.

Got some lying around somewhere........from memory, 2 push pins on the reverse side.... possibly 3? The receiver is common to other parts of the trim elsewhere, I think the pin itself is integral, so probably don't want to have a badly UV'd piece .
