    Has anyone on here taken these long caps off. I was wanting to paint them with bed texture to make them more resistant to scrapes. I did not know if they just snap off or if there was some special way to come off. I see the two plastic pins on the inside but that is all I see. Thanks in advance.

    This is what it looks like underneath , there are pins that go down into those rectangular slots

    Remove those two pins on the inside and pull it off. Just don't bend them too much pulling them off.
