You may have some trouble finding these. GM discontinued them a while back, so NOS or used is the only option now. Part numbers are:

10240164 - right
10240165 - left

Thanks RPM. I figured they were no longer available from dealer so I ordered a set of repros from Hawks.
But now that you gave me part# I will check with dealer to see if they have a pair laying around.

Good info, I didn't know that Hawks was reproducing these. I bought some fuse panel reproductions from them earlier this year, they were nice pieces that fit well. If you end up using the Hawks corner pieces, let us know how the quality/fitment is on those.

Roof panel is finally installed thanks to Joe Hendershott of St.Joes Island for applying the GM Black Onyx 8555 and epoxy sealer to the underside and John Trumble from All Star Auto Glass who applied the Sika brand primer to the panel and then the car where the Sika brand urethane was applied. Johns windshield installation experience played a huge role in getting the already well fitting panel lay exactly were it is supposed to. $920 roof panel, $75 plastic triangles, $260 paint work, $60 instaliation. $1315.00 Cdn to complete the job, looks grat but doesnt go any faster.

My Buddy John from All Star Auto Glass used one of these and made it look fairly easy

I believe the only way to get one off without breaking it is to wire it off.

Yes, I've read that as well which is why I asked your method. Looks like you almost got it off in 1 piece.
I have a 95 parts car I'm going to attempt removal.
