Mine were broken and had fairly sharp edges. I decided to get the replacement part, however I did not check first how they were installed. It appears that the piece that needs removing is rivetted in place.

If your tailgate top looks at all like mine there is a fair share of rust under that long containing strip. Be cautious when removing it if the hardware is rusty then you could end up with more of a problem than you started with. Good luck!
