you take them off by getting a socket set and unscrewing them off, Make sure u have ure hand firmly on the plastic arch pushing it towards the car.
They should come off fairly easy i took mine off near xmas when it was absolutely freezing.

i had a socket on it but it was spinning round and not unscrewing so i pulled the arch off a bit and held it from that side

be careful you dont want to pull too hard cause it will brake the plastic holdings and then you are screwed.
