Are they held on with clips? Is it just a matter of grinding away the weld at the top and peeling them off?

Cheers,

There are up to 4 metal `bitey' clips inside.. and the seams are brazed at top (and sometimes bottom).
I fill the seams with Sikaflex 291 and use as few clips as possible. No brazing needed, the Sika holds them on good.

The Sikaflex also stops the seams and clips from rusting. 8)
