Default Remove mounting bolt covers?

I don't want to destroy anything on my donor wing so I wanted to ask forum members on how to "Remove the mounting bolt covers from both sides
of the rear spoiler." Sounds easy in the manual but hey.. I have tried..
Anyone done this?

See picture. Obviously the pic have them already taken off..

Oh that is right you removed the SRT hatch and wing and putting on the n/a hatch and wing. I am not sure how the cover comes off. If there is no fasteners then it probably snaps on.

Would be great if you just went and looked at it. 4 eyes better than just two
I have a donor tailgate which I disassembled today. Went nice and easy. Find some "rust, erosion" close to the motor so I hope it is still working. Otherwise I am in need of buying a new one. 05161797AA .. Any guesses were to find one, and for how much?
The donor liftgate was full of sand.. I wonder what happend. I have the VIN if anyone interested to see if it was their car. Have you been driving in the desert?

It looks like that snap on from the bottom edge. Try to carefully pry with a small screw driver blade.
