They're held on with plastic clips which are integral to the part. My truck has the rambox, so I have no idea if you can release the clips from underneath the bed rail. If you can't you'll probably break at least a few of the clips when you remove them. The caps aren't that expensive to replace. Each piece has an MSRP of about $40. And just to help you find it, the tailgate cap is actually called the tailgate spoiler. Found that out the hard way LOL.

Thanks . I was wondering what they were called. Fortunately i dont have the ram box. Good to know they arent running 100 a piece . Imma have to go grab a couple cans of liner and dig into it today. Ill be sure to post pics.

While cutting the outside skin on drivers side, called box-side left, to replace it, I found there are clips under the top rail and between the inner and outer skin. After I cut away the sheet metal I was able to poke a screwdriver up to release the "hidden" clips.

FYI

I do not know the procedure but mine was removed and reused by a body shop, the tabs that are accessible appear to have grease on them.
