Now that I know how easy it is to remove them, here is what I am doing:

1) Remove flaps.

2) Sand off flaking white paint on flaps (which looks crappy).

3) Reinstall flaps.

I don't think the flaps themselves look bad, but the flaking white paint on them needs to go. This will be much easier than laying on my back working on removing the paint with the flaps in place.
