Triangle blk plastic part removal

Does anybody know how to remove those black plastic triangular pieces in front of the side mirrors? On the driver's side its the part that the radio antenna sits and where the sticker that says Passion. I took pictures of them, but my iphone died (as usual) and can't find the charger to upload what I'm talking about. There is a torx screw when you open the door you see that torx machine screw, but it just spins and seems to do nothing on both the passenger and drivers side in terms of removing those plastic pieces. Has anybody removed them?

If the Torx screws rotate CCW and don't want to come out, then they may be stripped.
Turn the screw gently and don't apply pressure. It should come out.
After the screw is removed you have to wiggle the triangular piece upwards. It may take several tries. I had a tough time while others didn't.
Hope this helps.
