i have cut them off before, but have not gone as far as removing the arch
section from the factory spotwelds on the body section...  the spotwelds are
hidden well under some serious factory seam sealer..  best thing i can say is just
take your time use the heatgun to remove the seam sealer and identify the
spotweld locations..
