On my 93 those are held with 3m double sided adhesive. I started at one end and gently pried it loose after removing screws. Doing it in the hot sun helps it to release. A heat gun is also handy. I caulked all the rivets and reapplied the adhesive and stainless steel screws
I was not experiencing leaks, rather the screws had corroded and were not holding well. Additionally a failing RHCV allowed the tire to rub the inner fender temporarily distorting the aluminum. In addition to caulking the rivet heads I caulked the screw threads when I installed them . I used a paintable caulk because I hope to paint the coach in the future and do not want to have to deal with silicone caulk.
