Default Sail panel triangle. How to remove?

The little triangles infront of the sail panel. Mine are cracked and I found replacements from Hawks3rdgen. How do I remove those to replace them? Are the epoxied on or clipped or what?

its put on with the same adhesive that's used on the sail panel. I use a heat gun to soften the glue, then use a box cutter with long blade or putty knife to cut the adhesive.

Work from the bottom up. If you go in from the side you start prying off the fiberglass like I did on my first sail panel removal.
