How to remove Z28 rear spoiler side pieces from quarter panel?

I've got the 3 nuts off of the backside from inside the car. The spoiler end piece is loose from the quarter panel but it gets hung up on the studs as I pull it away from the car because there's 2 studs on the side and 1 stud at the top. I don't want to force it and break or scratch something. How does this thing come off without damage?

Thanks.

Just fiddle with it a bit and it'll come off.

Make sure you get the washers out first, they are usually stuck to the body kinda good, take them out and the holes in the body are bigger and let you move it around more, you shouldnt have too much trouble getting it to slip off then.

Thanks for the help. I didn't realize the washers had to come off the inner side of the fender.
