I think I have those same rivet, retainers on the fin-trim.
A plastic prybar is best because you can apply a good amount of force without scratching anything. I got a set of plastic prybars for about $7 at Harbor Freight. The trim comes off by pushing up on it from the bottom edge. It will slide out of the metal clips on the body. I like to do a little at each section to put less stress on the trim and clips until the whole thing is loose.
