A heat gun on low or a hair dryer will help.

I left mine. Why do you want to take them off?

are they really? if they are meant to be left on then I'll leave it on.. I thought it was one of those protective plastics that are meant to be taken off at the dealer...

I think it's on there because that area of the panel curves out a little; I suppose they're there for "rock chip" protection. Yeah, looks puny and doesn't look like it'll do much... but it's better than nothing IMO.
